The Parc de Saint-Cloud is a park west of Paris, just a little northeast of Meudon.

It was the site of an aero park operated by the Aéro-Club de France.

The Deutsch prize, won in 1901 by Alberto Santos-Dumont, stipulated that the contestant must take off from and return to the Parc de Saint-Cloud.
