Exceptional opening of the UK Ambassador’s Residence on the occasion of the European Heritage Days …
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Residence of the Ambassador of the United Kingdom in France will exceptionally open its doors to the public on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to discover the Hôtel de Charost, a jewel of Parisian architectural heritage located in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. This year is particularly important, as the Hôtel de Charost celebrates its 300th anniversary. Built in 1725, this splendid mansion is an example of the elegance of 18th-century French architecture and a testament to three centuries of diplomatic and cultural history. This opening is fully in line with the 2025 theme of the European Heritage Days, which celebrates «architectural heritage». Acquired by the British government in 1814, the Hôtel de Charost has been for more than two centuries the official residence of the ambassadors of the United Kingdom in France. Over the years, it has hosted many personalities and was the scene of significant moments in Franco-British relations. The public will be able to explore the ceremonial halls, the ballroom, the gardens, as well as discover works of art and period furniture. Book Accessibility
