Despite being written in stone, the monikers are no longer applied. What do you think, should the separation be reinstated?
[Note: This building is no longer a school, but now belongs to the St Louis Hospital compound.

I am now taking requests! Is there something Parisian you would love to see on your computer screen? Send me your request at Paris.Paul.Prescott@gmail.com and I’ll hook you up!
Or, if you have taken a picture of Paris on your cell phone and would like to show it off to the world, why not do it here? It doesn’t have to be super artistic–there are enough photo sites of Paris as it is–just taken with a mobile phone and that’s all!
Please send a copy of your photograph to Paris.Paul.Prescott@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when it’ll be posted.
Thanks so much for your help!
This is such a French building!! I´ve been to a girls´ school for 8 years – and I can tell you that girls among themselves can be cruel and if you don´t have any contact to boys outside school you begin to think that they are “aliens”, but evidentially girls are better in natural sciences if there aren´t any boys around.
