“The École Militaire (Military School) is a complex of buildings in Paris, France, which house various military training facilities. It was founded in 1751 by King Louis XV and is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, southeast of the Champ de Mars. The building, constructed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, has continuously housed various military schools and institutions and is now home to two staff colleges for senior French Armed Forces officers and a military research institute. It has been classified as a national monument since 1990. This site can be visited during the European Heritage Days.” (École Militaire, Wikipedia)
