Reference excerpt

The Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud is a thoroughfare in the Auteuil district of Paris's 16th arrondissement.

Location and access The Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud is served by line 9 at Porte de Saint-Cloud station.

Origin of name This square is located on the former Porte de Saint-Cloud's site in Thiers' enceinte.

History The square, created by the City of Paris in 1928 on the site of former bastions nos. 65 and 66, received its current name through a decree of March 4, 1929. A subsequent decree on October 11, 1932, designated it as a Parisian roadway. At its center, where an octroi barrier once stood, lies the garden of the Porte-de-Saint-Cloud traffic circle, home to the Porte de Saint-Cloud fountains since 1936. The square has been recognized with the "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" (20th-century heritage) label.

Buildings and places of remembrance Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal church and garden. Three of the four monumental animal statues that had been installed in the gardens of the Trocadero Palace during the 1878 Universal Exhibition were installed on the Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud from 1935 to 1985. These were Pierre Louis Rouillard's Cheval à la Herse, Emmanuel Frémiet's Jeune éléphant pris au piège and Henri-Alfred Jacquemart's Rhinocéros. In 1986, they were restored at the Coubertin Foundation in Saint-Rémy-les-Chevreuse before being installed on the Orsay Museum forecourt.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud

In research: Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 16th arrondissement of Paris, Historical roads, Squares in Paris, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Place de la Porte-de-Saint-Cloud outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
