Historical significance and the opulent grace of France’s past are both close at hand not just during your visit here but during your entire stay in the country if you decide to book a discount hotel near the Ecole Militaire in Paris. The Ecole Militaire is actually many buildings all situated within one massive complex, all relating to the training of soldiers and other military personnel. Because of France’s long history of military campaigns, however, these buildings are antiques, dating back to the middle of the 18th century and featuring magnificent architecture that makes them a wonder to behold.
Facing the Champ de Mars, these buildings were originally intended to serve as academies where disenfranchised citizens might serve their country and learn a valuable trade. Today, however, they house the College Interarmees de Defense, where officer candidates study, and the Institut des Hautes Etudes de Defense Nationale, where principles of national defense are studies in depth. Visitors also have the good fortune to see the Eiffel Tower just in the distance, overlooking the complex as a reminder of the values that its students are protecting.
