Lycée Carnot, Historical high school in Dijon, France

Lycée Carnot is a public secondary school on boulevard Thiers in Dijon, built by architect Arthur Chaudouet and inaugurated on 31 July 1893 on the site of the former bastion de Saulx. Its buildings were designed for 1,000 pupils, a figure reached in 1933, and the facade facing boulevard Thiers with its roofs has been inscribed as a monument historique since 2010. It houses a classified collection of old scientific instruments.

A law of 1802 required a boys' lycée in each appeal court district; Dijon's opened in 1803 as Lycée impérial in the former hospice Sainte-Anne, now the Marcelle-Pardé college. After 1871 enrolments grew to 570 in 1880, and an 1885 accident in the old building led the municipality under Colonel Victor Marchand to build anew on the bastion de Saulx. Architect Arthur Chaudouet's building, planned for 1000 pupils, was inaugurated on 31 July 1893 and named Carnot in 1894.

The school has hosted a Czechoslovak section since the interwar years, and Czech students were recruited by competitive examination; Jiří Voskovec, a student from 1921 to 1924, started the tradition of a Christmas cabaret performed by boarders who stayed at the school over the holidays. Chinese is still taught here, and the school has taken Czech pupils for over eighty years.

The school stands at the foot of Dijon's former fortifications, on the site of the bastion de Saulx, along boulevard Thiers. Since 2010 the boulevard Thiers facade and its roofs, except the contemporary section, are inscribed as monuments historiques. The building was designed for 1,000 pupils, a figure reached in 1933.

The school keeps a collection of old scientific instruments listed in the national monuments inventory, and its facade on boulevard Thiers with the matching roofs has been inscribed as a monument historique since 2010. Its Czech section, opened after 1918, counted Jiří Voskovec and Václav Černý among its pupils.
