Building[]
Built in 1892 by architect Ernest Sanson, the embassy is located in the historic Hôtel de Breteuil. The building was sold to the Irish Government in 1954 when the lease on the former Embassy on Rue Paul-Valery expired.[2]
In 2006, the reception rooms of the chancery underwent extensive renovations.[3]
