Locations of Ottoman/Turkish Embassies in Paris

Hôtel de Monaco became the first Embassy building one year after Moralı Seyyid Ali Efendi was appointed as the first permanent Ambassador to France following the mission of Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi Efendi, also Mehmed Efendi or Mehemet Effendi, was a Georgian Ottoman statesman who was delegated as ambassador by the Sultan Ahmed III to Louis XV's France in 1720. He is remembered for his account of his embassy mission ("Sefaretname"). 


Hotel Monaco was built by Alexandre Théodore Brongniart in 1774 for Maria Caterina Brignole Sale, Princess of Monaco, and housed in the eighteenth century Abbe Arnauld de Pomponne and, under the Empire, Marshal Berthier, Prince de Wagram. The current building, built by Achille-Jacques Fedel, is a reconstruction, probably inspired by the original drawings of Brongniart, executed for the banker William Hope between 1838 and 1841.
