Line 14: ==Ambassador's Residence== [[File:Hôtel de Charost JP2010 jardin 1.jpg\|thumb\|left\|[[Hôtel de Charost]], the official residence of the British Ambassador]] The official residence of the British Ambassador to France since 1814 has been the [[Hôtel de Charost]], located at 39 [[rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré]] just a few doors down from the [[Élysée Palace]]. It was built in 1720 and bought by the [[Duke of Wellington]] in 1814. Napoleon's sister Princess Borghese joined her brother in exile to Elba, a ~~tinyisland~~tiny island between Corsica and Italy. Penury has forced the sale of this jewel looking house on rue du Faubourge St-Honore to the British government for us as their embassy. It had been the home of Duke of Wellington for 5 months because he had been appointed Britian's ambassador to the court of Louis XVIII.<ref>{{cite web\|last1=Schofield\|first1=H\|title=Scandalous tales from the British embassy in Paris\|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29643065\|website=BBC News\|accessdate=19 March 2015}}</ref> ==Other locations==
