Origin and history

The École nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument whose vocation was linked to the training of administrative and technical executives for French colonial territories. Although its name refers to a major institution, the available sources do not specify its period of activity or the details of its operation. This type of establishment generally reflected France's educational and colonial policies, aimed at regulating local elites or training metropolitan officials to serve overseas.

In Paris, the central city in the administration of the colonies, such schools played a strategic role in the management of the overseas territories, without being able to attribute specific events or figures to that institution in particular.
