École Militaire Tours and Activities
The École Militaire is a large complex of buildings located in the 7th neighborhood (arrondissement) of Paris that houses several different military training facilities. The original military school was founded in 1750 by Louis XV, who wanted to create an academic college for cadet officers from poor families. One of the school’s more well-known students was Napoleon Bonaparte, who graduated from the École Militaire in one year instead of the standard two. The impressively decorated building is still home to a training school for officers in the French army. The buildings are located within sight of the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero – very close to the Champ de Mars, which originally served as a parade ground for the school’s troops and students. The front facade of the building (facing the Eiffel Tower) is decorated with true 18th-century grandeur and still contains bullet holes where German units made a ‘last stand’ prior to the liberation of Paris in WWII.
Practical Info
The École Militaire is located at the end of the Champ de Mars park (side note: this park was named after Mars, the Roman god of war). Because the school is still in active service, it is not open to the public (except once a year on the journée du patrimoine). However, it is worth checking out on your walk to the Eiffel Tower and/or the Champ de Mars.
Address: 87, avenue de Suffren, Paris 75007, France
Hours: Not open to the public

Paris Bike at Night Private
2
This tour is unique because it is really private, it is mostly done with 1 or 2 people and we go to the details of the places to visit.
Secondly, my way of showing it is unique, a traveler took the bike with me and told me that he had seen more beautiful than with the group of bikes he had taken in the morning and that I showed him more details
The places I show at night have a unique way and a unique journey in the
City of Light which gives it more magic.
I can stop for a drink with the traveler or eat a pancake.
Your guide, both professional and artist, will transmit to you the magic of appreciating the city, the most beautiful in the world!
