In the heart of Paris, a hub of global information churns 24/7. Right here at 13, place de la Bourse, stands the Agence France-Presse, better known as AFP. This isn’t just any building. This is the heart of the world’s oldest news agency, a witness to history since 1835. Agence France-Presse started its life as Havas, a pioneer in news gathering long before the internet or even the telephone. Think carrier pigeons and coded telegrams, the lifeblood of early journalism.

Agence France-Presse has seen it all. From the turmoil of World War II, when it was seized and renamed, to its rebirth as a beacon of independent journalism in 1957. Did you know AFP was the first to report Stalin’s death, a scoop that sent shockwaves around the world? Today, with over 2,400 employees of 100 nationalities, AFP delivers news in six languages across 151 countries. This agency is a testament to the enduring power of the written word, a silent observer that has chronicled the triumphs and tragedies of our times. As you stand here, picture the countless stories that have flowed through these walls, shaping our understanding of the world. Agence France-Presse, a legacy etched in ink and transmitted across the globe.
