École Militaire, Military academy in 7th district, Paris, France
The École Militaire stands at the southern end of the Champ de Mars, featuring Baroque architecture with Corinthian columns and a central pavilion dome.
King Louis XV established this military institution in 1751 following a proposal by Marquise de Pompadour to educate young gentlemen without financial means.
The complex contains multiple educational facilities dedicated to military training, strategy development, and international military relations studies.
Visitors can access the grounds through the La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle metro station, with guided tours available during specified hours throughout the week.
Napoleon Bonaparte studied at this institution from 1784 to 1785 before returning in 1795 to establish his command headquarters.
