[FR] L'ambassade est la plus ancienne mission diplomatique du Canada (il faut noter que le Royaume-Uni n'était pas considéré comme un pays étranger).

L'histoire de la présence du Canada en France remonte à 1882 et a été initiée par le gouvernement du Québec.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, après la bataille de France de 1940, le ministre du Canada à Paris, Georges Vanier, s'enfuit vers Londres où la légation s'installe le 24 juin 1940.

[EN] The embassy is the oldest "foreign" posting in the Canadian foreign service (in its early history the Canadian government did not view the United Kingdom as a "foreign" country).

The history of Canada's presence in Paris goes back to 1882 and was actually started by the action of the province of Quebec.

During the Second World War, after the Fall of France in 1940, Canada's minister in Paris, Georges Vanier, fled to London.
