This is your chance to discover and rediscover some of the capital's most beautiful historic monuments , little-knownchurches hidden within, places of power, parks and gardens, as well as prestigious educational establishments.
In the 16th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Rue de la Pompe metro station, the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly is one of the largest school complexes in the whole of France. With almost 4,000 students, not counting several hundred teachers, the building is immense, covering a total area of over 36,500 m². Transformed into a hospital during the First World War, cradle of student resistance during the Second, the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly has a rich history.
