The Alumni Association of the Lycée International of Saint-Germain-en-Laye wishes you a happy new year 2022.

Alumni of the years 76 and 77 gathered for their 40th birthday of graduation in this unique place and boat called Clipper on the Seine river, belonging to one of their classmate Didier Spade, the same place where they celebrated their 30th birthday!

Once on board, Didier made us a big surprise: "Let’s move and sail on the Seine river", he said while the sun was gently setting down behind the Eiffel Tower!

The challenge had been hard to gather thirty of us on this long weekend of the 1st of may and moreover between two rounds of the french presidential election!

We were far from being so many as for the 30th birthday when we reached 111 of us, but the quality was there and some of us came from Norway, Belgium, Anglet, Marseille, Lyon and even Normandie on the way from New-Zeland!

"Next time will be on the Nouveau France" said Didier late at night, he who is working on several innovative projects in cruise ships and pleasure boats such as YESS, a luxury yacht 100% propelled by electric power to be used on the Seine river, or the Nouveau France, the famous french cruise ship entirely reviewed around pleasure and environment friendly innovative concepts.

You can of course support Didier in his entreprise by getting in touch with him through his email address: didier.spade@lenouveaufrance.com.

Hoping to see all the friends of the Lycée International soon and looking forward to reading more of your year news for similar events.

Year 77 (US section)
Former President of Lycée International Alumni

This is a message from the president of Lycée International ALUMNI.

You have seen in recent years a constant effort of the association to improve its services, articulated around a website and modern communication tools.

I would remind you that any alumni, former professor or member of the administrative staff, is a full member of Lycée International ALUMNI and this free of charge.

Funding for these services, based until now on donations, is unfortunately no longer sufficient. The team of the association therefore voted to introduce subscription. With an annual amount of 25 euros, it is modular according to your incomes and will be demanded to any member over 26 of age.

I remain as president the guarantor of the proper use of funds raised

Only paying members will now be able to access all the features of the site and in particular searches in the directory of alumni.

I would like to warmly thank our donors who have allowed us to hold until now and will of course count on you for the future.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Olivier Clausin

President

For the 70th anniversary of the victory over the nazism Lycée International ALUMNI managed to get 50 tickets to take part to the ceremonies at the Triumphal Arch, with the French President, on 8th May.

The tickets were largely shared with the Lycée in order for all international sections to be represented at the event.

This event is part of new projects that Lycée International ALUMNI is trying to raise in order to stimulate the link between "Alumni" and students of the Lycée.

I would like to congratulate our Secretary General Titania Redon for making this happen.

The General Assembly of 18 March 2015 voted unanimously for the introduction of new Articles of Association.

A team of 8 athletes from the Lycée International and its Anciens are proud to have participated in the 9th edition of the "Triathlon de l'Espoir. The team has successfully completed the 500 m swim, the 20 km mountain biking and the 5 km run and are proud to have given their support to those suffering from cystic fibrosis and their families.

The operation is organised every last week-end of September by "Vaincre la Mucoviscidose", a non-profit organisation that aims to raise funds in order to fund research to fight cystic fibrosis. We hope to increase furthermore the number of participants from the Anciens. If you already wish to volunteer, send a mail to Olivier Clausin who will inform you in time and space when we can take you onboard (and train!) for next year.
