Did you know? In Paris, this high school is located right in the middle of a historic medieval abbey.

In the heart of Paris’s 5th arrondissement, the renowned Lycée Henri IV has since 1804 occupied the historic buildings of the former Sainte-Geneviève Abbey. Today, remnants of medieval structures and designated historical sites still bear witness to its rich heritage.
