Welcome to the British Ambassador to France

We were delighted to be welcomed by the newly appointed Ambassador to France, Mrs Menna Rawlings CMG, at her Residence on the 09/09 and we would like to express our deepest thanks to the Ambassador and her team for a special evening. During her speech, the Ambassador summarised in three words her aspirations for the Franco-British relationship : Trust – Renewal – Partnership.
She reminded us all of the importance of our relationship – France remains the UK’s 5th biggest trading partner – and of both building a positive economic relationship and maintaining fluidity between our two countries.

​Thank you to our sponsors Jaguar Land Rover, Expat Partners and Mon Hôtesse Bien Airmée.
