TALK and/or book
The book examines crucial aspects of the school’s development such the role of its founder Marie d’Orliac, who a few years before had established the French Institute in the UK, the important number of Belgian children schooled at the lycée during the First World War, the evacuation of the school to the Lake District in WW II, the sharp increase in the number of British students from the end of the 1940s and the drastic expansion of the current site in South Kensington.

   After a brief introduction, the authors will examine the important roles of the lycée both in the dissemination of the French language in London and as a fulcrum for the French-speaking communities living in the capital. 

The book can be collected at the lycée on certain dates only, please enquire.
