Lycée Marcelin Berthelot

The Lycée Marcelin Berthelot serves as a prominent example of suburban high school design, adapting the traditional Parisian typology to a larger site that accommodates sports facilities. It was one of the first co-educational high schools, welcoming both girls and boys since its opening. The structure reflects a monumental and solemn architectural expression, establishing a distinct presence within the city and fostering a relationship of enclosure with the urban fabric. Notable features include a richly decorated entrance and hall, along with preserved gymnasiums, tiered classrooms, and science labs equipped with fume hoods, ensuring a high standard of conservation throughout.
