The embassy decors presented chronologically in this book recount a century of diplomacy and of French-style influence abroad. They allow to discover the diplomatic role played by decorative arts and the enrichment of those in contact with other cultures.

From the first Art nouveau and Art Déco sets to end-of-century design, the most prestigious designers of their times cross each other in this world tour: Süe et Mare in Warsaw, Francis Jourdin in Kabul, Jean-Michel Frank in Dublin, Jacques Emile Ruhlmann in Tokyo, Jean Dunand in Ankara, Jean Royère in Alexandria and Helsinki or, more recently, Michel Boyer in Brasilia and Jean-Michel Wilmotte in Washington.
