It was his first return visit to the organisation he once ran since sexual assault charges were dropped.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn took the chance to apologise to staff of the International Monetary Fund for any troubled caused after sexual assault charges against him were dismissed last week.
Strauss-Kahn (62) drove himself and his wife Anne Sinclair to the IMF headquarters in Washington DC and met briefly with his successor and fellow French national Christine Lagarde.

Staff broke into spontaneous applause before Strauss-Kahn began speaking - but he did not talk about his case. However, he did note the US justice system had been fair, one witness said.
An IMF spokesman said the visit by Kahn was personal and arranged at his request.
His visit had been greeted ahead of time with dismay by some IMF staff, while others said they felt sorry for Strauss-Kahn and wanted to pay tribute to his time.
