Lycée Germaine Tillion (Le Bourget)

Lycée Germaine Tillion, previously Lycée du Bourget, is a senior high school/sixth-form college in Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, in the Paris metropolitan area.

It houses the "Microlycée 93" for students who had dropped out.[1] This microlycée first opened in 2009 in La Courneuve.[2]

History

The school was built to relieve Lycée Eugène Delacroix in Drancy, which had over 1,800 students before the opening of the new Le Bourget high school. However the député-maire of Drancy, Jean-Christophe Lagarde, was upset at the opening of the new Le Bourget lycée.[3]

The school opened in September 2014, making it the 65th public senior high/sixth-form in Seine-Saint-Denis; at the time it had 240 students.[4]

In 2016 Ile de France authorities renamed the school after Germaine Tillion.[5]

Campus

The grounds in which the school was built, the former école normale, were renovated with a cost of 28.51 million euros. The building, with a capacity of 655 students, has 1930s architecture.[4]
