French for ‘The Maison Francaise’ (heh), La Maison is otherwise known as the French Embassy. The beating heart of Gallic DC occupies eight elegantly landscaped acres, anchored by the marble, modern-esque embassy itself. Countless cultural activities pop off here every week; check the website for listings. Not to stereotype, but if you’d like to sip some good wine and gaze at interesting art, theater, dance and the like, this is the place to visit.
