Ambassade de France


As you recall a few months back I started the series of stories on my Canadian Parliamentary experience and life in Ottawa for a couple months for this non-trad.  A few months have passed and I have had time to absorb the entire experience.  Now, is the time to put this life story into words.



In retrospect when I think of the Ambassade de France the same feeling of awe overcomes me just as it did when I first walked through the front entrance one year ago.



WOW, the French Embassy in Ottawa is just magnificent!   During the Open Doors Ottawa event I had the opportunity to tour this embassy.  When I walked through the front doors I felt like I was walking into a James Bond movie. 


 The grand room for entertaining is larger than life, the pictures posted do not do it justice, but it does give you a taste of the grand estate.  The décor is elegant and all the sculpture throughout are art masterpieces.



I would travel back to Ottawa for the Open Doors Ottawa again.  In fact this June I was in Ottawa just one week before the event, darn, maybe next year!
