history
In 1885 the architect Émile Vaudremer realized his idea of a “school on the Rive Gauche ”. This educational establishment was inaugurated three years later. The school was named in honor of the French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon . Official school operations began the following year. During the First World War , the school functioned as a military hospital. Schools were resumed after the war. During the Vichy regime from 1940 onwards, the buildings were increasingly used by the Resistance , with fewer schools .
On February 8, 1943, the five students Jean Arthus, Jacques Baudry, Pierre Benoît, Pierre Grelot and Lucien Legros were shot by the Nazis ( Cinq Martyrs du Lycée Buffon ). Raymond Burgard , a teacher and member of the Resistance, was also executed on June 15, 1944.
Lessons were resumed shortly after the end of the war. In 1995 extensive renovation and restoration work was carried out on the buildings. Since 1988 there have been student exchange programs u. a. with the Friedrich-Ebert-Oberschule in Berlin and the Gymnasium Kreuzgasse in Cologne .
