The French Embassy, Beirut is the chief diplomatic mission of France in Lebanon.

A car bomb exploded inside the French embassy compound in Beirut on the morning of 24 May 1982.

[1][2] In October 1990, General Michel Aoun, while combating the Syrian invasion, took refuge at the embassy before going into exile in France.

The French embassy, including the general consulate of France and the cultural and economic services, are today in Espace des Lettres, Damascus Road in Beirut, which was the demarcation line between the Christian and the Muslim neighborhoods during the Lebanese Civil War.

The new diplomatic chancellery building was integrated into the numerous pavilions in the Cité Bounoure, the old École des Lettres de Beyrouth.
