Meudon

Meudon (French pronunciation: [mødɔ̃] ) is a French commune located in the Hauts-de-Seine department in the Île-de-France region, on the left bank of the Seine. It is located 9.1 km (5.7 mi) from the center of Paris.

The city is covered by the Meudon Domanial Forest that accounts for half of its surface, a rarity in the close suburbs of Paris. Also, the city presents many significant grades and happens to be the geographic high point of the "small crown" of the Paris suburbs.

The city is mainly known for its forest and its observatory, that specializes in astrophysics and observation of the sun, but has also been home to celebrities such as Auguste Rodin, Richard Wagner, Louis Ferdinand Céline, Pascal Manoukian, Ambroise Paré and Armande Béjart.

The town of Meudon is built on the hills and valleys of the Seine, in the south-west of the Hauts-de-Seine department. The forest of Meudon lies for the most part to the west of the town.

The north-west part of Meudon, overlooking the Seine, is known as Bellevue ("beautiful view").

The neighboring communes are: Sèvres (North-west), Boulogne-Billancourt (North); Issy-les-Moulineaux (northeast), Clamart (east and southeast), Vélizy (south and southwest) and Chaville (west).

The town includes several districts: Meudon-sur-Seine, Val Fleury, Meudon-Centre, Bellevue and Meudon-la-Forêt.

The city covers 990 hectares, or 9.9 km2 (3.8 mi2), from the Seine river up to the neigboring heights.
