About the event
This exclusive tour will be led by Katie Kirkpatrick, founder of Off the Mall Walking Tours as she guides us to Francophone embassies that are members of the OIF - Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, in celebration of the Francophonie Month and as part of the month-long DC Francophonie Festival (Francophonie-dc.org).
This tour will be outside and does not include stepping inside Embassies.
With over 175 embassies, ambassadorial homes, and cultural centers, Washington, DC stands as one of the most globally connected cities in the United States. Many of these diplomatic centers include those from Francophone countries, and line the historic neighborhoods of Massachusetts Avenue NW, Dupont Circle, and the U.S. Naval Observatory, extending into the surrounding Kalorama neighborhood.
