Lycée Edmond Perrier, Secondary educational institution in Tulle, France.
Lycée Edmond Perrier is a secondary school in Tulle designed by architect Anatole de Baudot in 1887. The building features large windows and high ceilings that span multiple floors, creating bright and spacious learning environments.
The institution's origins trace back to 1567 when it was established as the College of Tulle. During World War I, the building functioned as a military hospital before returning to educational use in 1916.
The school carries the Latin motto 'Sint rupes virtutis iter' and took its current name in 1923 to honor zoologist Edmond Perrier. This naming reflects the institution's connection to scientific learning and intellectual achievement.
The school is located on Avenue Henri-de-Bournazel in Tulle and offers both general and technical education programs. When visiting, keep in mind that this is an active educational facility, so access may be limited during regular school hours.
The building survived three major fires since 1945, with the most severe occurring in May 1967. Despite these incidents, the front facade has remained remarkably intact and preserved.
