Queen Victoria's dated 1855 visit record identifies Château de Saint-Cloud as the royal residence, while the national monument records the bedroom prepared there and her journal describes departing from the château.
The often-repeated attribution that Queen Victoria stayed at Le Meurice during her August 1855 state visit to Paris is contradicted by the visit's primary record. Contemporary itinerary evidence and French heritage records place the Queen and Prince Albert in residence at the Château de Saint-Cloud throughout the official visit.
