MEUDON , a town of northern France, in the department of Seine-et-Oise, 6 m. E. of
Versailles
  by rail and about 21 M. S.W. of Paris. Pop. (1906), 9597. The remains of a castle (17th century) burned during the siege of Paris in 1871 have since been adapted as an
observatory
 . Its terrace commands a fine view of Paris. The handsome Galliera Institutions, on the hill of Fleury, were founded by the duchess of Galliera for the reception of aged persons and orphans. The buildings were completed in 1885, at a cost of 56o,000. The town has a monument of Rabelais, who was cure there in 1553, and manufactures munitions of war for the artillery, and in the neighbouring park of Chalais is the Government military ballooning
establishment
 . In the 16th century the cardinal, Charles of Lorraine, built at Meudon a magnificent chateau, which was destroyed in 1803. The present remains belong to a building erected by the dauphin, son of Louis XIV. The
wood
  of Meudon lies for the most part to the west of the town.
