The Collège-lycée Ampère is a school in Lyon with an important past.
history
The school was founded in 1519 by members of the Trinity Brotherhood (Confrèrie de la Trinité) and therefore also known as the Trinity School (Collège de la Trinité) . From 1565 it was run by Jesuits , who expanded the buildings, introduced new school subjects and helped the school to gain national importance.
They had five chapels built on the school grounds. The largest of them, the Trinity Chapel (Chapelle de la Trinite) , also called "big band" called, was built from 1617 to 1622 in Baroque style and was given in 1754 by Jean-Antoine Morand new equipment . In 1762 the Jesuits were followed by the Oratorians .
In 1792 the oratorios were expropriated during the French Revolution and the school was named École centrale . In 1793 it was occupied by troops in the course of the Battle of Lyon. From 1799 to 1801 André-Marie Ampère worked there as a mathematics teacher. From January 11th to 26th, 1802, an extraordinary meeting of the delegates of the Cisalpine Republic met in the Trinity Chapel . On January 26th, Napoléon Bonaparte proposed the presidency, who then proclaimed the Italian Republic in his inaugural address .
From 1803 the school was called Lycée impériale (Imperial High School) and was administered by the French state. After Napoleon's fall, it was called the Collège royale (Royal University) . In 1844 a pedestrian bridge was built over the Rhône at the level of the school , which was intended to shorten the way to school for those who lived to the left of the Rhône. Today this bridge is the oldest surviving Rhone bridge in Lyon. After the revolution of 1848 the school was renamed the Lycée de Lyon and finally in 1888 the Lycée Ampère . Famous students of the 19th century were Alphonse Daudet and Charles Baudelaire .
At the turn of the 20th century, Édouard Daladier was taught here. In 1904 the branch that still exists today was founded on Avenue de Saxe. After the First World War, which killed more than 500 students and teachers, part of the school was transferred to the newly founded Lycée du Parc (park high school) and the premises were completely renovated. Numerous students at the school have become famous, including the socialist politician Robert Badinter and the soccer coach Raymond Domenech .
present
Today, at the two locations “Bourse” (31, rue Bourse) and “Saxe” (149, Avenue Maréchal de Saxe), around 1500 students are taught in 50 classes across several educational paths. Rector (Proviseur) is Jean Marie Boucly.
