The Château of Saint-Cloud, to the west of Paris, was Victoria and Albert’s home during their visit. No effort was spared in ensuring the queen’s comfort; the empress even arranged for paintings and furniture to be brought from the Louvre museum to furnish their rooms. One of Napoleon III’s favourite residences, Saint-Cloud was destroyed fifteen years later during the Franco-Prussian War.
