The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Lycée agricole construit de 1966 à 1969 par les architectes Roland Bechmann, Pierre Biscop, Charles André et François Girard. Le plan du lycée, en "ailes de moulin", s'articule autour d'un noyau central affecté aux services généraux. Plusieurs éléments - toits-terrasses, pilotis, escalier hors-oeuvre, brise-soleil et béton brut - peuvent faire référence à l'architecture de Le Corbusier, et notamment à son monastère de la Tourette (voir notice PA00117761).

Agricultural secondary school built from 1966 to 1969 by the architects Roland Bechmann, Pierre Biscop, Charles André and François Girard. The plan of the secondary school, in "mill wings", is articulated around a central core assigned to general services. Several elements - flat roofs, pilotis, external staircase, brise-soleil and raw concrete - may make reference to Le Corbusier's architecture, and notably to his La Tourette monastery (see notice PA00117761).
