Embassy of Algeria, Paris, Diplomatic mission in the 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Embassy of Algeria in France is a diplomatic mission located on Rue de Lisbonne in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The building has a plain, functional facade that gives little outward sign of the official work carried out inside.
Algeria established a diplomatic presence in Paris after gaining independence in 1962. The long shared history between the two countries gives this mission a weight that few other embassies in the city carry.
The embassy sits in a part of Paris known for its concentration of official buildings and foreign missions. Visitors passing through the area notice the discreet security presence and the orderly rhythm of people coming and going throughout the day.
The embassy receives visitors during set weekday hours, so arriving early in the morning helps avoid long waits at the door. A security check is required at the entrance, so plan a little extra time before your appointment.
Rue de Lisbonne, where the embassy stands, is part of a network of streets in the 8th arrondissement named after European capitals. This small detail gives the block a quietly international feel that dates back to the way the neighborhood was planned in the 19th century.
