The main facade of the Lycée Jean-Baptiste-Say features an intricate iron gate and a long, imposing stone frontage that spans the street. Founded in eighteen seventy-two, the school began as a way to provide a modern, secular education focused on commerce and industry, a departure from the classical curriculum of the era. The economist Jean-Baptiste Say championed these practical subjects during his life. Today, students walk the same hallways where the French poet Paul Valéry once sat as a young pupil.
