Diplomatic missions
In 1874, the Embassy in Paris was one of only four Germany embassies alongside London, Saint Petersburg, and Vienna, Today, of 226 diplomatic missions abroad, Germany has five diplomatic and consular missions in France. The German Embassy is in Paris.[1] In 1961, France returned the Hôtel de Beauharnais, the former German embassy in Paris which had been expropriated by France at the end of World War II, as a gesture of solidarity between the two nations.[2] Additionally, there are four consulates-general in Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille and Strasbourg.[3][4]
