Lycée Janson de Sailly [Paris]
brief history:
Situated in the 16th arrondissement of Paris [France].
The school was built in the 1880s funded by Janson de Sailly - a wealthy Parisian lawyer - who bequeath all his
fortune to the State under condition that the money be used to establish a high school, with no females allowed.
His wife has cheated on him. Later girls were allowed.
They are called the "les Jansoniens" or JdS, and are originally high school for boys and girls aged 11-20.
In 1914 it was transformed into a Red Cross run military hospital mainly for officiers, due to having many rooms.
