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.

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.

2021 photos: This year was filled with hope. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is still with us but it was hoped that restoring sanity to the White House. the rapid vaccine role-out, and a government that finally cared would put things back to normal again. But the force was strong in the evil anti-vaxxer movement and the virus variants made quick use of that so we're still dealing with this crap. Plus the continued impact of the Trump putsch attempt... Sigh. Trips this year: after getting fully vaccinated, I made a trip down to Asheville, NC in May to visit my dad and his wife Dixie and returned again in early October, in mid-July, I made a quick trip up to Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, slightly up from 2020 but still really low.
