History

The hôtel Fieubet[1] was built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, between 1676 and 1681, for Gaspard Fieubet, Chancellor of Queen Marie-Thérèse, as part of the former Royal Hotel of Saint-Pol. The hotel was then frequented by Jean de La Fontaine and Madame de Sévigné. The hotel was decorated by Le Sueur and Vicotte.

From 1814 to 1857, the hotel was a sugar refinery.

In 1857, Count Pierre de Lavalette bought the hotel and with architect Jules Gros transformed it into a Baroque Italo-Spanish pastiche, doubling the size of the right wing with sculpted decoration.

At the end of 1872, rue de Turenne, some priests from the Oratory began to educate youth. However, it was only from 10 October 1877 that the école Massillon began. On 3 April 1877, abbé Nouvelle bought the hôtel Fieubet. On 10 October of the same year, the building took its first 150 students.[2]

Ranking of the lycée

In 2016, the lycée was ranked 16th out of 112 at departmental level in terms of teaching quality, and 63rd at national level.[3] The ranking is based on three criteria: the bac results, the proportion of students who obtain their baccalauréat after studying at the establishment for their last two years, and value added (calculated from social origin of the students, their age, and their diploma results).[4]

Associations

The école Massillon is rich in cultural and international diversity, and works with numerous associations, including many humanitarian organisations (A.C.K.S.P., Solar Burkina Project...), a student investment club, multilingual debating societies, and educational associations such as a theatre club run by Xavier Maly as well as a chess club which in 2011 won a student tournament.
