Champ de Mars

A Large garden between the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire (military school). It used to be wider, but was thinned down. It was also the marching ground for students at the Ecole Militaire. Before it's thinning down, Gustave Eiffel, creator of the nearby tower, used to land dirigibles on it.
