Marshall Center at the Hôtel de Talleyrand: Located at the heart of Paris near the Place de la Concorde, the Hôtel de Talleyrand is among the most important historic European buildings under the stewardship of the US Department of State. This former grand residence was the site of the administration of the Marshall Plan, when the building was purchased by the US government after World War II. Built between 1767 and 1769, the Hôtel de Talleyrand was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel and its interiors were designed by Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin, one of the most prominent architects in 18th-century France.
