The Former French Embassy: A Glimpse into History
Nestled within the city, the site that once housed the French Embassy holds a rich history, having been the residence of the Pure Prince. The embassy’s main gate stands as a testament to the French pride and arrogance that permeated during their time stationed in this location.
Not only was this site significant to French history, but it also played a crucial role in Cambodian history. It served as the Beijing residence for Cambodia’s King Sihanouk during his visits to the city.
Regrettably, the site is not open to the public, preserving its historical significance while maintaining an air of exclusivity.
