Template:Infobox Paris metro École Militaire is a station of the Paris Métro. It is named after the École Militaire (Military Academy), which was founded in 1750 on the basis of a proposal of the financier Joseph Pâris (known as Duverney) with the support of Madame de Pompadour, with an aim of creating an academic college for cadet officers from poor families. It was designed by Angel-Jacques Gabriel and construction started in 1752 on the grounds of the farm of Grenelle, but the school did not open until 1760. The comte de Saint-Germain reorganised it in 1777 under the name of the École des Cadets-gentilshommes (School of Young Gentlemen), which accepted the young Bonaparte in 1784. The École Militaire today covers all aspects of military higher education.
