The Lycée Louis-le-Grand (French pronunciation: [lise lwi lə gʁɑ̃]) is a public secondary school located in Paris. Founded in 1563 as the Collège de Clermont, it was renamed in King Louis XIV of France's honor after he extended his direct patronage to it in 1682. It offers both a sixth-form college curriculum (as a lycée with 800 pupils), and a post-secondary-level curriculum (classes préparatoires with 900 students), preparing students for entrance to the elite Grandes Écoles (such as the École Normale Supérieure, the École Polytechnique, Centrale Paris, HEC Paris or ESSEC Business School). Students at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand are called magnoludoviciens.
Louis-le-Grand, founded in 1563, is located in the heart of the Quartier Latin, the traditional student's area of Paris. Rich in history, architecture, culture, this area is home to some of the oldest and most prestigious educational establishments in France including the Sorbonne and the Collège de France. The lycée is situated close to the place du Panthéon, which is the location of its historical rival, the Lycée Henri-IV. These two lycées are home to the oldest preparatory classes in France, which are commonly viewed as the most selective in the country.
