Created in 1780, the Champ-de-Mars extends over 780 metres between the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. This large public garden covered with lawns occupies a plain that was transformed into an annex of the Ecole Militaire in 1765. Over time, it hosted horse races, Republican festivals and executions during the Revolution. At the end of the 19th century, it was the site of several World Fairs. Nowadays, the Champ-de-Mars is open to a wide range of activities (picnics, concerts, exhibitions, fireworks, etc.) and offers the most beautiful view in the capital of the emblematic Eiffel Tower.
