Robert-Badinter School Complex

The Robert-Badinter school complex is located at 13 Avenue de Châteaudun,{{Cite web |title=Accueil - Cité scolaire Augustin-Thierry |trans-title=Home - Augustin-Thierry school complex |url=https://augustin-thierry.fr/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250119070146/https://augustin-thierry.fr/ |archive-date=January 19, 2025 |website=Augustin Thierry, cité scolaire |language=fr}} in the northern part of the Bourg-Neuf district,{{Harvsp|Nourrisson|2005|p=172}} in the Provinces sector, in Blois.{{Harvsp|Nourrisson|2005|p=230}}

Covering 14 hectares, it is divided into two parcels of land, situated on either side of Honoré-de-Balzac Street. The larger parcel (accessible from both Avenue de Châteaudun and Honoré-de-Balzac Street) houses the majority of the school buildings, as well as administrative offices and student services (cafeteria and student common room). The second, smaller parcel, accessible only via Honoré-de-Balzac Street, contains the Vinci workshops, the new gymnasium, and sports fields. An underground passage beneath Honoré-de-Balzac Street allows users to move between the two areas without exiting the premises.{{Harvsp|de Decker|2010}}

The school complex consists of around twenty buildings, distributed across both parcels in a layout designed for functional organization. Buildings used by all students occupy a central position. The older buildings are clearly distinct in architecture and materials from those built starting in the 1960s.

The {{Interlanguage link|History of the Robert-Badinter school complex|lt=history of the Robert-Badinter school complex|fr|Histoire de la cité scolaire Robert-Badinter}} begins with the creation of a Royal College in Blois by royal charter from Henry III in 1581.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=11}} Opened on April 1, 1587, the first establishment was initially housed in a house in the Bourg-Neuf district, located outside the city walls.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=12}} The college was then relocated in 1601 to Bretonnerie Street, on the site of what is now the central post office.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=13}} Managed by secular clergy until 1622, the Royal College was then entrusted to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits),{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=14}} who lost control when they were expelled from France in 1764.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=16-17}}

Closed in 1793 by the revolutionaries,{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=18|pp=}} the college was re-established only in 1804 as a municipal secondary school, which was promoted to the rank of municipal college in 1808.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=20|pp=}} By then located in the former {{Interlanguage link|Bourg-Moyen Abbey|lt=Bourg-Moyen Abbey|fr|Abbaye de Bourg-Moyen}}, the institution served much of the Blois bourgeoisie. It was renamed on September 30, 1872, to honor one of its most famous students, the Blois-born historian Augustin Thierry (1795–1856).{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=21 & 28-29}} Destroyed in a fire caused by German bombings at the beginning of World War II (June 1940), the college operated in temporary locations for several years under the occupying forces.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=67|pp=}}

Eventually relocated in 1945–1946 to premises formerly used by the {{Interlanguage link|Loir-et-Cher departmental asylum|lt=Loir-et-Cher departmental asylum|fr|Asile départemental de Loir-et-Cher}}, the institution was elevated to the rank of high school at the same time.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=79-80}} It grew rapidly. Becoming a school complex with the creation of a general education middle school (1963){{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=85, 87 & 90}} and a technical section (1964),{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=91-92}} Augustin-Thierry played a key role in Blois’s international outreach, establishing exchange partnerships with the Grammar School of Lewes in the UK (1946) and the Hochrhein Gymnasium of Waldshut in Germany (1958).{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=80-82 & 96}}

Open to {{Interlanguage link|Education of girls in France|lt=female|fr|Éducation des filles en France}} students since 1963,{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=87 & 90}} the institution transformed with the {{Interlanguage link|Democratization of education in France|lt=democratization of education|fr|Démocratisation de l'enseignement en France}} in France in the 1960s–1970s.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=|pp=85-86}} It reached its peak at the end of the 1980s, hosting nearly 2,500 students and pupils.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=106|pp=}} In January 2025, the high school was elevated to the status of an international high school and was renamed Robert-Badinter High School, while the middle school retained the name Augustin-Thierry.{{Cite news |last=Couturier |first=Alexis |date=2024 |title=Blois : la cité scolaire Augustin-Thierry va prendre le nom de Robert-Badinter |trans-title=Blois: the Augustin-Thierry school complex is to be renamed Robert-Badinter |url=https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/blois/blois-la-cite-scolaire-augustin-thierry-va-prendre-le-nom-de-robert-badinter |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241118202153/https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/blois/blois-la-cite-scolaire-augustin-thierry-va-prendre-le-nom-de-robert-badinter |archive-date=November 18, 2024 |work=La Nouvelle République |language=fr}}

Rich in ancient history, the site of the Robert-Badinter school complex housed a leprosarium (the {{Interlanguage link|Priory of Saint Lazarus and Lunier hospice|lt=Saint-Lazare leper hospital|fr|Prieuré Saint-Lazare et hospice Lunier}}) at the beginning of the 12th century, before becoming a priory of the Canons of Saint Genevieve until the French Revolution. Sold as national property in 1791, the estate and buildings of the religious institution were acquired by Nicolas Chambon de Monteaux, then mayor of Paris.{{Harvsp|Cosperec|1997|p=71|pp=}} After being sold several times (notably to General Hugo{{Cite journal |last=Belton |first=Louis |date=1902 |title=Victor Hugo et son père le général Hugo à Blois |trans-title=Victor Hugo and his father General Hugo in Blois |url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5505165f/texteBrut |journal=Mémoires de la Société des sciences et lettres de Loir-et-Cher |language=fr |location=Blois |publisher=Société des sciences et lettres de Loir-et-Cher |volume=16 |pages=10 |issn=1157-0849}}), they were finally purchased in 1834 by a banker named Jean-Simon Chambert-Péan. The latter had a large villa built there, the "Château Saint-Lazare" (now the Hugo building), incorporating remnants of the old priory, such as the rib vaulted hall that is now the chapter room.{{Harvsp|Nourrisson|2005|p=|pp=172 & 192}}

Acquired in 1861 by the Loir-et-Cher department, Chambert-Péan’s residence was integrated into the departmental {{Interlanguage link|Loir-et-Cher departmental asylum|lt=asylum of Loir-et-Cher|fr|Asile départemental de Loir-et-Cher}}, then managed by Doctor {{Interlanguage link|Jules Lunier|lt=Jules Lunier|fr|Jules Lunier}} (1822–1884). Shortly after, the size of the Saint-Lazare villa was doubled with the addition of the {{Interlanguage link|Priory of Saint Lazarus and Lunier hospice|lt=Lunier villa|fr|Prieuré Saint-Lazare et hospice Lunier}} (now the Lunier building), which today houses the administration of the school complex.{{Harvsp|Guignard|2007|p=|pp=7-9}}{{Harvsp|Cosperec|1997|p=75|pp=}} Various annex buildings were later built in the park, including the Tilleuls Pavilion (currently known by the same name). Decommissioned during World War II, these buildings began housing the Augustin-Thierry High School following the Liberation.

In the early 1990s, the {{Interlanguage link|Orléans-Tours academy|lt=Rectorate|fr|Académie d'Orléans-Tours}} planned to demolish the remains of the former priory and the Lunier hospice to replace them with more modern buildings.{{Cite news |date=1991 |title=Lycée Augustin-Thierry : l'année des grands travaux |trans-title=Augustin-Thierry High School: a year of major works |work=La Nouvelle République |language=fr}} However, this project was met with opposition from part of the teaching staff and local heritage advocates, who founded an “Association for the Preservation of the Old Buildings and Park of the Augustin-Thierry High School.”{{Cite web |title=Association pour la sauvegarde des bâtiments anciens et du parc du lycée Augustin-Thierry |trans-title=Association for the preservation of the old buildings and grounds of the Augustin-Thierry secondary school |url=https://www.asso1901.com/profile.php?l=fr&asso=361034&pname=ASSOCIATION-POUR-LA-SAUVEGARDE-DES-BATIMENTS-ANCIENS-ET-DU-PARC-DU-LYCEE-AUGUSTIN-THIERRY |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202073828/https://www.asso1901.com/profile.php?l=fr&asso=361034&pname=ASSOCIATION-POUR-LA-SAUVEGARDE-DES-BATIMENTS-ANCIENS-ET-DU-PARC-DU-LYCEE-AUGUSTIN-THIERRY |archive-date=February 2, 2017 |website=asso1901.com |language=fr}} Ultimately, the historical elements were listed in the General Inventory in 1992,{{Cite web |title=Prieuré de génovéfains Saint-Lazare, villa, puis asile d'aliénés dit hospice Lunier, actuellement lycée Augustin Thierry |trans-title=Priory of Saint Lazarus, Genoese nuns, villa, then Lunier asylum, currently Augustin Thierry secondary school |url=https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/merimee/IA41000031 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102190344/https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/merimee/IA41000031 |archive-date=January 2, 2022 |website=Notice No. IA41000031, on the open heritage platform, base Mérimée, French Ministry of Culture |language=fr}} and a study was carried out by art historian Annie Cosperec.{{Harvsp|Cosperec|1997|p=|pp=71-77}}

In 1946–1947, the former {{Interlanguage link|Priory of Saint Lazarus and Lunier hospice|lt=Lunier hospice|fr|Prieuré Saint-Lazare et hospice Lunier}} was converted into a school. The Tilleuls Pavilion was expanded to accommodate the premises of the winter agricultural school. A new building was also added to the old ones: Building O, now known as the Lavoisier Building. Designed by architect Henri Jannin, this structure is an east-west-oriented block with two stories and a raised basement. Built with dressed stone on the main façade and masonry coated with plaster on the rear, the Lavoisier Building features a double-pitched hip roof covered with slate. It now houses general and science education for the professional section (SEP).

Between 1960 and 1963, Building N (now the Michelet Building) was added to the original ensemble, based on plans by architect André Aubert (1905–1987). Oriented north-south, this building has concrete foundations and a reinforced concrete frame and floors.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=87|pp=}} Initially intended to house the dormitory, the Michelet Building also contained, in the former common room, two carved wooden bas-reliefs measuring approximately 1.5 m by 5.5 m each. Created in 1963 by artist Jean Touret as part of the “1% for art” initiative, this large carved decoration depicting horsemen is now displayed inside the Balzac Building.

Between 1963 and 1966, new buildings designed by André Aubert and Pierre Large were added. These included the workshop facilities of Building A (at the current site of the Vinci workshops), Building M (now the Papin Building), which housed a second dormitory, Building I (now the Balzac Building) which became the new dining hall, and Building G which contains the central heating plant.

Between 1968 and 1973, a fourth construction phase was carried out by André Aubert and Pierre Large. Two parallelepiped-shaped buildings for general education (Building D, now Descartes) and science education (Building E, now Curie) were added to the complex. In addition, Building K, which housed a gymnasium and swimming pool, was inaugurated. In 1975–1976, a new dormitory—initially called Building J and later named Joséphine-Baker—was built behind the old Lunier hospice, which led to the demolition of part of the older structures. Very different from the previous buildings, this one is square-shaped and features a central patio. It also has only two floors.

In 1999, Building I (now Balzac) was expanded to accommodate administrative offices, meeting rooms, and a second gymnasium. In 2001, a student center (“maison des lycéens” or MDL){{Cite web |last=Berger-Villaamil |first=Catherine |title=Maison des lycéens du lycée A Thierry à Blois |trans-title=House of the students of the A Thierry secondary school in Blois |url=http://www.architectes-pour-tous.fr/diaporama/20316?projet=2953 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204170812/http://www.architectes-pour-tous.fr/diaporama/20316?projet=2953 |archive-date=February 4, 2017 |website=architectes-pour-tous.fr |language=fr}} was added near the dining hall. Covering 400 m², this MDL was named “Jean-Germanaud Student Center” in 2005, in honor of a former Spanish teacher at the school.{{Cite news |last=Association amicale des anciens élèves du lycée Montesquieu |date=2006 |title=Activités des anciens élèves et enseignants |trans-title=Activities of former students and teachers |url=https://montesquieu.paysdelaloire.e-lyco.fr/lectureFichiergw.do?ID_FICHIER=409 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204171534/https://montesquieu.paysdelaloire.e-lyco.fr/lectureFichiergw.do?ID_FICHIER=409 |archive-date=February 4, 2017 |work=Lettre d'information |pages=3 |language=fr |issue=2}}

In the time of Jean-Simon Chambert-Péan, the park surrounding the “Château Saint-Lazare” was planted with more or less rare species (Lebanon cedars, cherry plum trees, linden trees, etc.) that provided shelter for many birds and red squirrels. After the school complex was established, however, many of the trees in the park were cut down to make room for new buildings (especially Descartes and Curie).{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|pp=79 & 87}} Only part of the 19th-century arboreal collection remains today, but it continues to be a defining feature of the school complex.

The operation of the Robert-Badinter school complex is similar to that of all French middle and high schools.

The middle school is governed by a {{Interlanguage link|Board of directors of local public educational establishment|lt=school board|fr|Conseil d'administration d'établissement public local d'enseignement}} (CA) composed of 24 members: 8 staff representatives, 8 representatives of parents and students, and 8 representatives of local authorities, the school {{Interlanguage link|National education management corps|lt=administration|fr|Corps des personnels de direction de l'Éducation nationale}}, and qualified individuals. This board manages the school’s affairs and votes on, among other things, the {{Interlanguage link|French settlement project|lt=school project|fr|Projet d'établissement}}, organizational rules, and the budget. Alongside the board are other bodies, including the {{Interlanguage link|Health and Citizenship Education Committee|lt=Health and Citizenship Education Committee|fr|Comité d'éducation à la santé et à la citoyenneté}} (CESC), responsible for citizenship education, violence prevention, support for parents in difficulty, and education on health, sexuality, and risk prevention.{{Cite web |title=Le collège |trans-title=The college |url=https://www.education.gouv.fr/le-college-4940 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240119000737/https://www.education.gouv.fr/le-college-4940 |archive-date=January 19, 2024 |website=Ministère français de l'Éducation nationale |language=fr}}

The general and vocational high school (LGT and SEP), for its part, is headed by a school board (CA) composed of 30 members: 10 staff representatives, 10 representatives of parents and students, and 10 representatives of local authorities, the school administration, and qualified individuals. The functions of this board are the same as those of the middle school board. Alongside the board, there are various bodies: the Health and Citizenship Education Committee (CESC), whose role is the same as in the middle school;In 2016, the CESC (Health and Citizenship Education Committee) organized a prevention week on addictions for all second-year lycée students.

As early as 1946, the lycée established an exchange with the Grammar School (later renamed Priory School) in Lewes, United Kingdom, thanks to the efforts of an English teacher named Robert Piolé. In 1957, another partnership was formed with the Hochrhein Gymnasium in Waldshut, thanks to a former German assistant named Manfred Kirchgässner. After many years, these partnerships came to an end, though not without having previously enabled the town of Blois to establish twinning relationships with the two partner cities of the school complex.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|pp=80 & 96}}{{Harvsp|Nourrisson|2005|pp=112, 120 & 197}}{{Cite web |last=Collonniers |first=Bernard |date= |title=Présentation |trans-title= |url=http://bcollonniers.free.fr/html/present.htm |archive-url= |archive-date= |website=Association du jumelage Blois-Lewes-Waldshut-Tiengen |language=fr}}

Finally, thanks to a donation from a wealthy New Zealand benefactor, Mr. Raymond Nutter, an exchange has linked the lycée to Thames High School since 1988. Each year, two students from the first year of the general track are selected to spend the months of July and August at their exchange partner’s school. In return, they host a New Zealand student in December–January.{{Cite web |last1=Anne-Lise |last2=Laure |date=2003 |title=A trip to New-Zealand |trans-title= |url=http://yougotthepoint.online.fr/ |archive-url= |archive-date= |website=You got the point |language=}}

Since 1945, many assistants from around the world (Germany and Austria; the Commonwealth and the United States; Spain and Latin America; the Arab world) have spent a year at the school complex.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|pp=95-96}}{{Cite news |last=Bossard |first=Béatrice |date=2012 |title=Je viens d'un pays qui n'existe pas |trans-title=I come from a country that doesn't exist |url=http://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/Vienne/Actualite/Dossiers-actualite/n/Contenus/Dossiers/Actualite/Jeunes-Express/Initiatives/Je-viens-d-un-pays-qui-n-existe-pas |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617172144/http://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/Vienne/Actualite/Dossiers-actualite/n/Contenus/Dossiers/Actualite/Jeunes-Express/Initiatives/Je-viens-d-un-pays-qui-n-existe-pas |archive-date=June 17, 2015 |work=La Nouvelle République |language=fr}} For a long time, these young people were provided with room and board on-site (first in the Tilleul building, then in building J), but this practice declined during 1990. Over the years, several of these assistants left a lasting impression on the school. This is particularly true of the German Manfred Kirchgässner, who initiated the twinning between Blois and Waldshut-Tiengen (1963),{{Harvsp|Nourrisson|2005|pp=|p=120}} but also of Mr. Blackmore, whose research led to the listing of the {{Interlanguage link|Priory of Saint Lazarus and Lunier hospice|lt=Hugo and Lunier buildings|fr|Prieuré Saint-Lazare et hospice Lunier}} in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage.

After peaking at nearly 2,500 students in the late 1980s, the school complex’s enrollment has steadily declined, as shown in the following table:

As of the 2024 school year, there are 720 students in the collège and 996 in the lycée (739 in the general and technological lycée, and 257 in the vocational section), for a total of 1,716 adolescents. Additionally, there are 147 BTS students.Figures kindly provided by the school complex's secretariat.

Based on statistics from the Ministry of National Education, {{Interlanguage link|L'Étudiant (media group)|lt=L'Étudiant|fr|L'Étudiant (groupe média)}}magazine reported in 2016 a success rate of 84% on the 2015 Diplôme National du Brevet (with 53% earning honors) for students at Collège Augustin-Thierry. This is slightly below the national average, which stood at 87% success and 58.4% with honors. As a result, the magazine gave the school a score of 13.7/20, ranking it sixth out of nine public and private collèges in Blois.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2016 |title=Exclusif : la classement 2016 des collèges |trans-title=Exclusive: the 2016 ranking of secondary schools |url=http://www.letudiant.fr/college/3e/exclusif-le-classement-2016-des-colleges-infographie.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170126014611/http://www.letudiant.fr/college/3e/exclusif-le-classement-2016-des-colleges-infographie.html |archive-date=January 26, 2017 |website=L'Étudiant |language=}}

The Friendly Association of Former Students of the Collège and Lycée Augustin-Thierry is one of the oldest in France: it has existed since 1872, preceding by a few months the renaming of the Blois college to Collège Augustin-Thierry.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=36}} The first general assembly of the Association took place on August 10, 1872: it adopted its statutes and appointed Senator Amédée Thierry and General {{Interlanguage link|Juste-Frédéric Riffault|lt=Juste-Frédéric Riffault|fr|Juste-Frédéric Riffault}} as honorary presidents. Two days later, the Association met again and elected {{Interlanguage link|Louis de La Saussaye|lt=Louis de La Saussaye|fr|Louis de La Saussaye}} as president.{{Harvsp|Denis|1986|p=37}}

Since then, the Association’s mission has been to promote the influence of the school complex and to demonstrate its moral, and even financial, support for the school’s students.{{Cite web |last=Association Amicale des Anciens Élèves du Collège et du Lycée Augustin-Thierry |date=2012 |title=Miscellaneous information |url=http://lyceeaugustinthierr.free.fr/ |website=lyceeaugustinthierr.free.fr |language=fr}} Its current president is Mr. Christian Prieur.{{Cite news |last=Lané |first=Chantal |date=2016 |title=Anciens d'Augustin : un appel de l'Amicale |trans-title=Anciens d'Augustin: a call from the Amicale |url=https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/blois/anciens-d-augustin-un-appel-de-l-amicale |work=La Nouvelle République |language=fr}}

Several authors have mentioned the collège and lycée in their works.

This is the case for historian Augustin Thierry himself, who recounts in the Récits des temps mérovingiens (1840) how, in 1810, he devoured {{Interlanguage link|Les Martyrs (Chateaubriand)|lt=Les Martyrs|fr|Les Martyrs (Chateaubriand)}} by Chateaubriand in the {{Interlanguage link|Bourg-Moyen Abbey|lt=Bourg-Moyen buildings|fr|Abbaye de Bourg-Moyen}}. The reading of this work affected him so deeply that he could not refrain from declaiming lines from it (“Pharamond! Pharamond! We fought with the sword!”) in the school's chapter room. This work by Chateaubriand went on to inspire him constantly and profoundly influenced him through the Romantic movement.{{Harvsp|Thierry|1840|pp=21-24|p=}}

The former college also appears in the works of regionalist writer {{Interlanguage link|Hubert-Fillay|lt=Hubert-Fillay|fr|Hubert-Fillay}}. He nostalgically describes his teenage years at the collège in Jeunesse !… Souvenirs blésois (1934).{{Harvsp|Fillay|1934|pp=|p=}} The author also recounts, in La Grand'pitié de la ville de Blois (1940), the destruction of the institution and the ruins that followed.{{Harvsp|Fillay|1940|pp=|p=}}

{{Interlanguage link|Jean-François Hauduroy|lt=Jean-François Hauduroy|fr|Jean-François Hauduroy}} briefly mentions life at the Blois collège during World War II in his novel Véra (1989).{{Cite book |last=Hauduroy |first=Jean-François |title=Véra |date=1989 |publisher=Julliard |isbn=978-2260004240 |language=fr}}

Children’s literature author {{Interlanguage link|Philippe Barbeau|lt=Philippe Barbeau|fr|Philippe Barbeau}} frequently features the lycée on Avenue de Châteaudun and the teachers (such as Mr. {{Interlanguage link|André Duclos|lt=Duclos|fr|André Duclos}}, Mr. Dimanche, or Mr. Carbonel) who left a lasting impression on him during his teenage years in the 1960s. This is especially true in his autobiographical novel Je lui ai promis (The Promise) from 2013,{{Harvsp|Barbeau|2013|pp=|p=}} and in the memoir “De voix en aiguille” included in the collection A Childhood Love in 2007. More anecdotally, the writer also refers, in 2009, to the old collège on Rue du Bourg-Moyen and its last principal (Mr. Chardon) in the novel June 1940: Fear on the Road.{{Cite book |last=Barbeau |first=Philippe |title=Juin 1940 : Peur sur la route |date=January 22, 2009 |publisher=2009 |isbn=978-2-09-252276-9 |location=Nathan |language=fr |trans-title=June 1940: Fear on the road}}

On Television, the premises of the school complex served as a set for the educational sitcom {{Interlanguage link|Les Zèbres|lt=Les Zèbres|fr|Les Zèbres}}, directed by {{Interlanguage link|Gilles Bannier|lt=Gilles Bannier|fr|Gilles Bannier}} and Stéphane Moszkowicz in 1997–1998.See the credits of the series, which notably thank “Mr. MONSELLIER (principal), Ms. PICORNELL (assistant principal), as well as all the staff and students of Lycée AUGUSTIN-THIERRY.”
