CONSULAT GÉNÉRAL DE FRANCE

The Consulate General of France in Alexandria is the oldest of the French diplomatic network abroad; that is the only reason why it still exists. Otherwise, it has become "a consulate of influence", which medicine appoints "under palliative care". Practically, it no longer has any function of issuing visas for foreign nationals, and as far as the administration of the French community is concerned, its powers are limited to the reception, information and orientation of nationals to the Consulate General in Cairo.
