Benjamin Franklin Home - Paris

Ben Franklin's Paris home is on Rue Jacob.  It was here he lived while negotiations for The Treaty of Paris were undertaken. In 1783 Franklin was one of the American Commissioners in France, along with John Jay and John Adams, who negotiated the Treaty with Great Britan which ended the American Revolutionary War, and secured the United States ownership of a large territory between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Coast. The Treaty of Paris was formally signed by Franklin, Jay and Adams in a house which still stands just down the street at 56 Rue Jacob.
