Institution Mongazon, Historical educational institution in Angers, France
Institution Mongazon is a secondary school and preparatory classes within a complex of buildings displaying traditional French architectural style. The campus includes specialized classrooms, digital learning equipment, sports facilities, music studios, and residential spaces for students.
Abbé Urbain Loir Mongazon established the institution in 1833 as a place combining education with religious teaching. During World War II, the complex served as a military hospital before returning to its educational mission afterward.
The chapel serves as a gathering place where the school community regularly participates in religious services, blending faith with everyday student life.
The campus is accessible to visitors, though it is best to check ahead to avoid disrupting classes during school hours. The location is easy to reach on foot and sits centrally in Angers.
The school library is named after Jean Foyer, a former student who served as French Minister of Justice during the 1960s. This connection illustrates how significantly alumni have influenced France's leadership.
