Reviews of French Legation State Historic Site
"Very interesting and well preserved treasure. Very worth visiting. Nice cafe and gift shop. Very nice staff and helpful staff. Restrooms are handy and beautiful grounds to walk around. A must see in Austin TX."
"Nice venue to learn about Texas history and France's relationship with Texas. Be sure to check out their Web site for upcoming events. We were able to find street parking not too far away. Definitely worth checking out."
"Please note the exhibit doesn't open until 11AM. There is a Starbucks Cafe on site that opens at 7AM. Parking available. Wheelchair accessible as the upstairs is not part of the exhibit (houses HVAC). So I'm giving this House and Kitchen Museum 4 stars for a few reasons. My friend and I were both a bit underwhelmed. And very surprised there was no material culture exhibit of the original land inhabitants. The focus if the exhibit is during the Era when this building was The French Legation to the Republic of Texas. Very informative docent tour. I was actually a bit more impressed with the kitchen. But I would recommend this if you enjoy house museums."
"Iconic historic site and site of French embassy in Austin. Lot of history to know about while visiting this location. Its located very close to State capitol building. Lawn outside the museum is very calm and is good to spend the afternoon. Dont forget get the Texas Historical Visit passport and get it stamped while in here. Its free and is a nice way to get to know about all the sites. They also have an attached food court and souvenir shop attached. Parking is located next to the entrance of the museum. Place is open until 5pm."
"Fascinating piece of Texas history and the grounds are stunning. The THC guide, Kyle, was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the history of the French Legation and surrounding areas around Austin. We loved the cafe/visitor center. Super friendly staff, and the sandwiches, chips, drinks, and fruit/cheese trays were delicious. Bathroom was impeccably clean. If you enjoy Texas history, I highly recommend the French Legation home."
