Hôtel de Charost is a hôtel particulier located at 39 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. Since 1814 it is the official residence of the United Kingdom ambassador to France. It is located near the Élysée Palace. ==History== The ''hotel'' was built in the 1720s for Armand de Bethune, 2nd Duke of Charost, a senior courtier of Louis XV. It was designed by Antoine Mazin, the king's own architect. The building was sited on the Rue de Faubourg Saint-Honore, which was then a winding road that passed through fields and market gardens to the village of Roule on the outskirts of Paris. After it had been an aristocratic home, the ''hotel'' became the Embassy of Portugal, offices for the French home office (''siège de bureaux''), an Imperial Palace and the temporary residence of the Austrian ambassador. In 1803 it was bought by Pauline Borghese, the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1814 she sold the building to the Duke of Wellington who paid her in instalments of Louis d'or. Borghese passed the gold onto Napoleon who had been exiled to Elba following the Treaty of Fontainebleau. His dramatic return that climaxed the next year at Waterloo was partly financed with the sale of this house to the British.
