The Embassy of France in Peru (French: Ambassade de France au Pérou, Spanish: Embajada de Francia en Perú) represents the permanent diplomatic mission of France in Peru. It is located at 3415 Arequipa Avenue, in San Isidro District, Lima.

The current French ambassador to Peru is Marc Giacomini.[1]

History

[edit]
Main article: France–Peru relations

Both countries in 1826 and have maintained them since. Relations were severed once during World War II with the French State of Philippe Pétain, with Peru instead establishing relations with Free France and normalizing its relations with said government after the war, elevating the relations to embassy level.[2][3]

For the first half of the 20th century, the French legation was located at the Quinta Heeren.[4]

In 1973, Peru again severed diplomatic relations with France in protest of French nuclear testing in the South Pacific Ocean. The rupture lasted until 1975.[5]

In December 1996, Hyacinthe D'Montera, the embassy's cultural attaché, became one of the hundreds of initial hostages during the Japanese embassy hostage crisis.[6][7]

Residence

[edit]

The official residence of the ambassador is a manor located at 302 General Portillo, also in San Isidro.[8]
