École-Militaire, Military education complex in 7th arrondissement, France
The École Militaire forms the southeastern end of the Champ-de-Mars, with its main building featuring classical French architecture and symmetrical design elements.
King Louis XV established this military institution in 1751 to provide education for young noblemen who could not afford training at military academies.
