The oldest secondary school in Angoulême and its surrounding area, the Guez de Balzac high school is also a historical monument thanks to its neo-classical architecture.
Named after the writer Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, a former student of the high school when it was still a Jesuit school, the establishment dates from the 16th century. Personalities such as Armand Fallières, president of the Third Republic, the writers Jean Tharaud and Jérôme Tharaud and the resistance fighter René Chabasse attended the school. It also houses a collection of natural sciences and another dedicated to physics instruments. He encouraged the creation of the association of the friends of the heritage of Guez, founded in 2003 to enhance the architectural heritage of the school.
