The Ambassador of Great Britain to France (French: ''L'Ambassadeur britannique en France'') was the foremost diplomatic representative in France of the Kingdom of Great Britain, created by the Treaty of Union in 1707, in charge of the British diplomatic mission in France. Traditionally, the Embassy to France was the most prestigious posting in the English and later British foreign services, although in the eighteenth century there was sometimes no diplomatic representation between the two countries, due to the wars between them. For Ambassadors to France after 1800, see List of ambassadors from the United Kingdom to France. ==Ambassadors and Ministers of Great Britain to France == *''No permanent representation of the Kingdom of Great Britain, or of its predecessor the Kingdom of England, to France between 1701 and 1712, due to the War of the Spanish Succession''.〔D.
