Wikipedia Description: Embassy of France in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of France to the United States is the primary French diplomatic mission to the United States of America. It is located at 4101 Reservoir Road NW in Washington, D.C., just north of Georgetown University. The embassy opened in 1984. With some 400 staffers, it is France's largest foreign embassy. The embassy represents the interests of France and French citizens in the United States and conduct the majority of diplomatic work on such interests within the USA.

Structure:

The embassy is headed by the French Ambassador to the United States, currently Pierre Vimont.

In addition to the standard diplomatic facilities, the compound has La Maison Fran�aise a cultural facility consisting of an auditorium, library, theatre, and exhibition hall. Like many embassies, it regularly hosts events for the general public including balls and concerts.

The diplomats of the chancery take responsibility for a specific policy area and may stand in for the ambassador in his absence.

2007 photos: Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
