Hi Chris,

I'm not sure what sort of info you are looking for but...... Victor Hugo has a very good reputation and is one of a few colleges/Lycees across France that includes the English GCSE at college level and the Option International Baccalaureate,O.I.B (not to be confused with the I.B) at Lycee. The English teachers are native English speakers. Attending the college is an advantage to moving into the Lycee providing grades are met. External candidates have a tough entrance exam for very few places. Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

My daughter is in her final year at the Victor Hugo International Lycee, Colomiers. It has a college which feeds into the Lycee. Is this the same one that you have mentioned?

Hi Vic

Yes, you guessed it - a harmonica, not a big mac, (pic taken at Cahors Blues 2010).

Cheers

Get basic info from the Rectorat page (académie de Toulouse, académie de Bordeaux) that will give you bare facts - eg no. on roll, options etc then visit.
