A grandeur and elegance synonymous with French diplomacy, the Palais de l'Élysée has been the epicenter of political and social events since the late 19th century. From formal receptions for heads of state like the Shah of Persia and Prince Kotohito Kan, to diplomatic corps dinners hosted by Adolphe Thiers, this iconic Parisian landmark has borne witness to significant historical moments. Fencing masters stood guard as President Félix Faure received distinguished guests in 1895 (F. Meaulle, "Fencing in front of the President of the Republic, Palais de l'Élysée, 1895"). The ambassadors of Abyssinia paid a visit in 1898 (F. "The ambassadors of Abyssinia visiting the Elysee Palace, 1898"). And in 1899, the world mourned the sudden death of President Faure (Oswaldo Tofani, "The Death of Felix Faure, 1899"). The Palais de l'Élysée continues to embody the rich history and culture of French diplomacy, standing as a symbol of national pride and international cooperation.
