Furnished apartment and studio rentals in Paris Ecole Militaire / Unesco / Duroc Area.

An affluent area where people come to relax

The École Militaire/Unesco district is in the prestigious area between the Trocadéro and Avenue de Breteuil, famous for its gardens. The École Militaire is an 18th century architectural masterpiece. The castle and the courtyard still bear historical scars, like the mark left by a bullet in the mirror of the Salon des Maréchaux. The building also hides a chapel, concealed inside the castle itself, a library, and a bust room.

A picturesque, authentic district

The headquarters of Unesco stands next to the École Militaire. Nicknamed the three-pointed star,” the main building is supported by 72 columns of concrete piling. Next door, two other contemporary-looking establishments have been added to the landscape: one in the shape of an accordion and the other in the form of a cube. The buildings of the École Militaire and Unesco form a vast complex to the southeast of the Champs de Mars, opposite the Eiffel Tower. These two stunning masterpieces are open to the public.

An exclusive residential district

In terms of things to do, the district has a charming little independent movie theater on Rue de Babylone: La Pagode. The lovely garden is a great place to sit and have a cup of tea after the showing. Further north, Rue Vaneau used to be the spot for artists, poets, philosophers, and writers, drawn by the peaceful atmosphere. On Rue Breteuil there are several cafés, florists, hair salons, and local businesses.
