Embassy of France
The Embassy of France stands in central Tashkent, near Amir Timur Square and the Museum of Modern Arts, within the city’s diplomatic quarter. Its art nouveau façade belongs to a building constructed between 1909 and 1912 during the Romanov era, originally as a school for girls. A metal framework made it one of the region’s early buildings of its kind.
France leased the property from 1992 and purchased it with the surrounding land in 2000. Today, the renovated façade and two-level entrance hall serve diplomatic and consular work, including passport services, visa applications, and assistance for French nationals in Uzbekistan. Diplomatic relations between France and Uzbekistan began on 1 March 1992, linking this Tashkent address to cooperation in political, economic, and cultural affairs.
One detail remains especially striking: a former girls’ school now houses the French diplomatic mission and its consular section.
