Since 1991, the offices of the Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations have been located at One Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, 43rd and 44th floor in Manhattan, New York, at the corner of 2nd Avenue and 47th and 48th Streets, close to the United Nations Headquarters.

The Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations is led by Ambassador Nicolas de Rivière,[1] Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations and former Political Director of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

Staff members of the Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations also organize visits by the French authorities to the UN headquarters, notably during the general debate that opens the annual session of the UN General Assembly, which traditionally takes place in September.

The Permanent Mission includes the Military Mission of France to the United Nations as well as a financial agency and its commercial department which represents the Ministry for the Economy, Industry, and Employment.

A detachment of the national police is responsible for ensuring the security of the premises of the Permanent Mission at all times.
