Access by train
- From Montparnasse train station in Paris, you can take the train (Line N) that goes in the direction of Sèvres Rive Gauche or, more rarely, towards Versailles-Chantiers, Rambouillet, Chartes, etc.
- You may leave the train in one of two stations:
- 3rd stop: Meudon (after Vanves-Malakoff and Clamart). Exit the station, go to the right, walk 200 meters, turn right again, then go all the way to the top of the hill.
