About French Legation State Historic Site

The French Legation in Austin is one of the oldest houses in the city, originally built in 1841 as both a residence and diplomatic outpost for France's representative to the Republic of Texas. Visitors tour the main house to see period rooms including the living room, bedrooms, and kitchen, where cooking demonstrations take place. The grounds feature a visitor center and walking paths. Guided tours, school tours, and group tours are available for those wanting more detailed information about the site's history and the settlement of Texas. An archeology demonstration area engages visitors in hands-on learning. The French Legation also hosts special events and can be rented for occasions. An interactive virtual tour allows exploration from anywhere. The site operates Tuesday through Saturday with museum hours posted online. Admission is charged at multiple price levels. The location is on San Marcos Street in Austin.
