École Nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer
École Nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer, Colonial administration school in 6th arrondissement, France.
The educational facility at 2 Avenue de l'Observatoire features Moorish Revival architecture with decorative elements from Moroccan architectural traditions.
Founded in 1885 as Mission Cambodgienne, the institution transformed into École coloniale in 1888 before becoming École Nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer in 1934.
The institution prepared administrators through comprehensive education in economics, law, ethnology, languages, and tropical medicine for service in French territories.
The three-year curriculum required graduates to commit to five years of administrative service, with preparatory classes offered at major Parisian schools.
The building, informally called 'the old mosque,' contained artistic works by Charles Lameire and Claude Bourgonnier until their removal in the 1970s.
