Henri-IV High School is a public secondary and higher
education institution renowned for its excellent results.
It is also listed as a historical monument for some of its
buildings inherited from the former abbey of Sainte-
Geneviève, which date from the 12th to the 18th
century: cloister, Clovis tower (former bell tower),
chapel (former refectory), Medal room (former cabinet
of curiosities). Renovation work carried out around
1996 uncovered remnants of the Carolingian period.

The organ is signed by John Abbey (1785-1859) and
dated 1845. According to Yves Fossaert, the design of
this Abbey is indeed very "classic French" (pipes cut to
the tone), as it was still practiced at the beginning of
the 19th century - and so, in terms of instrumental
aesthetics, this Abbey sounds.
Overhaul by Yves Fossaert in 2016.
