King Louis XV created a school to train young cadets of the royal army. The school would go on to count among its students some of the most decorated officers and military men in French history. One of the École Militaire’s most famous students was Napoléon Bonaparte, who attended in 1784. About 200 senior officers join it each year at the end of a particularly selective process. It is high military education.
