II- The National School of Administration, location of training seminar
Created by General de Gaulle in 1945, the founding principles of the
Ecole nationale d’administration (ENA) are to broaden access to the
highest executive levels of government services, and to provide
professional training for senior civil servants. In 1991, the School was
“relocated” to Strasbourg, but kept buildings in Paris (the former
“Colonial School” which was opened in 1896) dedicated to continuous
training and international cooperation.
The main tasks of ENA include initial and continuous training of French and foreign high-level civil servants
as wall as cooperation activities with partners from Europe and other continents. The School trained more
than 6500 French officials and nearly 3000 foreign students as part of its long-term training programme.
As a substantial part of ENA students also join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, many training themes
concern international relations, trade and diplomatic and European matters. ENA regularly collaborates with
institutions and diplomatic academies, bilaterally or in the frame of consortia in order to respond to tenders.

metro network located in Paris (zones 1 and 2), the entire bus network located in Paris (zones 1 and 2) and
