Hôtel de Charost, British ambassador residence in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
The four-story mansion at 39 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré features Empire-style furniture and an English garden behind the main building.
Architect Antoine Mazin constructed this private mansion in 1722 for Armand de Bethune, the second Duke of Charost, under Louis XV reign.
The residence displays an important collection of Empire-style furniture from the period when Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, Pauline Leclerc, owned the property.
Access to the interior of the residence requires an official invitation, except during the annual Heritage Days when public visits are permitted.
The Duke of Wellington purchased this property for the British government in 1814, making it the first post-restoration ambassadorial residence in Paris.
