Hôtel de Villeroy - The seat of the French Ministry of Agriculture

The Ministère de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation (French for: Ministry of Agriculture and Food) is the French Ministry of Agriculture .

The headquarters of the ministry, the Hôtel de Villeroy , is located at 78 Rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement of Paris and is therefore very close to the Hôtel Matignon . From its founding in 1836 to 2017, the name of the ministry has been changed eight times to reorganize responsibilities within the French authorities.
