Words from a diplomat: My country of nationality is, and always will be, France. Country of my childhood as they say, country that I miss from time to time of course, where there are my family, long-time friends, my memories, a world-renowned culture, an art of tableware unique in the world…

Boris Choquet Honorary Consul of France in Patagonia

When I decided to leave France to try the adventure in Argentina, I had a great desire to connect with other people, with another culture. Time passed and homesickness made itself felt little by little, I think it’s normal.

Honorary Consul of France

What could be more natural then than to accept the position which was then offered to me to represent France here, in these latitudes, as Honorary Consul in San Carlos de Bariloche, to come to the aid of French tourists visiting the sector and to help the French-speaking community present in Patagonia in their administrative procedures.

It is also an opportunity for me to thank my country, France, for its culture, its own identity so present throughout the world… For all its values ​​which, indirectly, are anchored in me.

Thanks to the function of Honorary Consul of France, under a very broad field of action, covering the provinces of Río Negro, Chubut and Neuquén, as well as in liaison with Chile, I am in permanent contact with the local authorities and I belong to a consular network. We are 17 honorary consuls scattered throughout the country. We all know each other, are colleagues and friends, all with very different and quite complementary profiles.

For my activity as a travel organizer, this represents a huge advantage, because if you were to have any problem during your tour/stay, I will be able to intervene and notify the authorities concerned on site who will come to your aid immediately.

Living in Patagonia and carrying out a general mission at the end of the world to support the diplomatic, cultural and economic action of France, is for me a double action: to promote France in all its dimensions and to proclaim myself “Ambassador of Patagonia”, a region that I know perfectly.
