The Collège-lycée Jacques-Decour (French pronunciation: [kɔlɛʒ lise ʒak dəkuʁ]) is a school in Paris, France, on avenue Trudaine.
The school was founded as the private Collège Sainte-Barbe in 1821 and renamed Collège Rollin in 1830. It was transplanted in 1876 from the Quartier Latin to avenue Trudaine, near Montmartre. The old building on rue Lhomond became the site of the Protestant Faculty of Theology in Paris in 1877. Collège Rollin was granted municipal status, [1] and became Lycée Rollin in 1919. It is the only secondary school in Paris to have taken the name of a former teacher, Jacques Decour, a French Resistance fighter in 1944.
