Lyce Louis-le-grandThe Lyce Louis-le-Grand is a public high school located in Paris. Formally known as "Collge de Clermont", it is named after king Louis XIV of France when he visited the school and offered his patronage. It offers both a high-school cursus (a "Lyce" 800 pupils), and a college-level cursus, known as "classes prparatoires" (900 students), preparing students for entrance to the elite Grandes coles. Louis-le-Grand is famous for its high success rates for cole Polytechnique and cole Normale Suprieure. Louis-le-Grand, founded in 1563, is located right in the heart of the Quartier Latin in Paris. The Quartier Latin is the traditional student's area of Paris. Rich in history, architecture, culture, this area regroups the oldest and the most prestigious educational establishments in France (La Sorbonne, le Collge de France). Louis-le-Grand, aiming at excellence, plays a leading role in the education of French elites. Former pupils who have become statesmen, diplomats, prelates, marshals of France, members of the Acadmie, men and women of letters are countless. "The Jesuit College of Paris", wrote Elie de Beaumont in 1862, "has for a long time been a state nursery, the most fertile in great men". Indeed Molire, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, all famous writers, could be held as examples of former students. All the same, Georges Pompidou, Valry Giscard d'Estaing, Jacques Chirac, all presidents of the French Fifth Republic, have all once spent their time on the benches of Louis-le-Grand.
