En un regard
Le château en bref
The Lycée Blanche-de-Castille is a Catholic secondary school under contract of association with the French State, located since 1928 at 43 boulevard Jules-Verne, in the Nantes Erdre district of Nantes. Formerly reserved for girls and co-educational since the 1990s, it is one of the oldest lycées in the city. One of the school's notable buildings is the Château du Plessis-Tison, built at the beginning of the 17th century on the estate of the same name, formerly owned by the de la Tullaye family. Several other buildings were constructed between the 1930s and 2018.
Founded by the Ursulines of the Roman Union, the school is under the supervision of this congregation. Its educational project is said to be inspired by the "Merician" approach, based on the life and principles of Saint Angela Merici in the 15th century.
