Hexagone Balard

Hexagone Balard is the general staff headquarters of the French Armed Forces. Inaugurated in 2015, more than 9,000 personnel from the French Army, French Navy, and French Air Force and Direction générale de l'armement have moved into this building, from previously separate headquarters for each service branch. The seven-story command and control center was built on 41 acres around a former army air base near the Balard (Paris Métro) in the 15th arrondissement.
