List of ambassadors of France to Poland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of ambassadors and other highest-ranking representatives of France to Poland. The exchange of diplomatic representatives and envoys between France and Poland date back to the 16th century when Henry III of France briefly held the title of King of Poland. Sources often disagree on the exact title given to the various diplomats of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and some envoys with lesser responsibilities have been left out of the list but can be found in the two main sources for that period.[1][2]
