Lycée Molière (Paris)
The Lycée Molière is a French public local educational establishment, established in 1888, comprising both a collège and a lycée. It is located at 71, Rue du Ranelagh in Paris, in the 16th arrondissement and is named after the French playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known as Molière (1622–1673). Historically, the lycée was the third girls' lycée in the capital. Built by the architect Émile Vaudremer, it opened its doors on 8 October 1888, with 48 students. Initially intended to provide intellectual education to young women in western Paris, it became a space for promoting female emancipation and helped train part of the French female elite in the early 20th century. The establishment became coeducational in 1973. It now prepares students for the brevet, the baccalauréat, and competitive entrance exams for classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles. Today, it has over 1,300 students.
