Convention of St. Cloud
The Convention of St. Cloud, (signed on 3 July 1815) was the military convention by which the French surrendered Paris to the armies of Prince Blücher and the Duke of Wellington, and with that surrender hostilities ended.
History
Under the terms of the convention, the commander of the French army, "Marshal Prince of Eckmühl" (better known as Marshal Davout) surrendered Paris to the two allied armies of the Seventh Coalition and agreed to move the French army well away from Paris, to the south "beyond the Loire".[1][2] In return, the allies promised to respect the rights and property of the local government, French civilians and members of the French armed forces.[1][2]
