The National Veterinary School of Alfort (EnvA) is France’s longest-established veterinary school. It has been located in the same place, on a 12 hectare site at Chateau d’Alfort on the edge of Paris, since its foundation in 1766.

It is one of four national veterinary schools who operate a common curriculum - with others in Nantes, Lyon and Toulouse - ENVA belongs to a network of 12 public schools of agronomy, veterinary science and forestry.
