HISTORICAL ORIGINS
In the courtyard remains
Massillon's foundation stone, which is Volvic stone, and dated
1658.
It was, at that time, a convent
for the order of the Bernardine sisters. Then, after the French
revolution, it was a seminary for priests.
Finally, in 1907, the school was
established and named after Bishop Massillon, a very well known
Catholic bishop of Clermont-Ferrand.
