The Ecole Militaire (Military Academy; originally the school for training officers of the royal army) stands at the opposite end of the Champ-de-Mars from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The building was designed by Jacques-Ange Gabriel and built in two stages between 1759 and 1782. With its clear and uncluttered architectural forms it is a fine example of early neo-classicism.
In 1785 a young officer graduated from the officers' training school established by Louis XV with a report from his superiors that "in certain circumstances he might go far". The young officer took advantages of the circumstances of his time and went a long way as Napoleon I, first Emperor of the French.
