How is France responding to new kinds of attacks? My response at The 2026 George Washington Symposium at @MountVernon.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

The future of AI will be brightest if the US and Europe work together. My thoughts from The 2026 George Washington Symposium at @MountVernon.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

At the @USChamber #B20USA Summit, I sat down with fellow Ambassadors @GermanAmbUSA, @MPeronaci, and @MarkDWiseman and @mkmcollins to discuss economic growth and the future of transatlantic cooperation on energy, innovation and AI, as well as critical raw materials.

250 years ago, French citizens braved the battlefield to defend the possibility of a country built on ideals. Generations later, Americans returned the favor.

This 11 November, we remember all those who bravely defended our shared values.

Yesterday, I signed the condolence book at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington, DC, for the victims of the attack in Kraków.

Our hearts are heavy for our European neighbors and friends.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

I enjoyed meeting with all of the Consul Generals of France from across the United States, who work on the ground across their 10 consular districts.

@franceinnyc @CedrikFouriscot @francediplo_EN @businessfrance @FredRossiExport @franceintheus Lastly, I toured "Alice Riehl's Porcelain Florilegium," the French artist's first major museum exhibition in the United States. A breathtaking installation. 

I look forward to meeting many more compatriots and new American friends in future visits to New York.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

I spent a few days last week with the team @franceinnyc meeting members of the talented and thriving French population in New York City. This place has always been a home for and a favorite destination of our people, and I was glad to get acquainted.

Here's what I did:

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

@franceinnyc @CedrikFouriscot @francediplo_EN Next stop: @businessfrance with @FredRossiExport. I enjoyed seeing how Business France boosts French companies in the US and brings North American investment to France. This, along with discovering the VIE community that includes over 1,500 young professionals in North America.

Merci @FranceTV, @LeaSalame et @loicdelamornais pour notre échange lors de ce moment important de la vie démocratique américaine.

Après un mois aux États-Unis, je perçois la volonté de nos partenaires américains de travailler étroitement avec la France.

@andreforatlanta @MatthieuClouvel @FranceAtlanta @franceintheus @francediplo_EN @TheKingCenter @atlchamber @GermanyinUSA @GermanyAtlanta @GermanAmbUSA And last but not least, I attended the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting with Minister Jean-Noël Barrot and spoke with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Thank you, Atlanta, for having me.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

My first visit to Atlanta took me to the home of a Civil Rights hero, to a center of global business exchange in the Southeast, to a French-German crossroads, and to the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting–all in under 48 hours.

Here's a recap:

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

@andreforatlanta @MatthieuClouvel @FranceAtlanta @franceintheus @francediplo_EN @TheKingCenter @atlchamber I visited the Kultur Ensemble Atlanta–the shared home of the Alliance Française d'Atlanta and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta–that is fostering great bilateral and multilateral relations.

This center is the only French-German cultural center of its kind in North America.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

Glad to be at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting with 🇫🇷 Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot. It was great to speak with 🇺🇸 Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

@franceintheus @francediplo_EN @franceinhouston @Axiom_Space Thank you to all those who made my trip deep in the heart of Texas so productive and enjoyable. I look forward to visiting this great state again and to continuing these discussions.

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

My first consular visit took me to Houston, Texas where I was welcomed by our excellent consular staff to meet with talented French professionals and valuable American partners. Here's what I did in the Lone Star State:

[Aurélien Lechevallier @FrenchAmbUS]

@franceintheus @francediplo_EN @franceinhouston Space is a pillar of the French-Texan relationship, and I was glad to meet with industry leaders at Axiom Space. We look forward to upcoming collaborations around the Axiom Station, designed to serve as a successor to the International Space Station.
