History[]

Marcel Etienne Segrest (Marsels Etjēns Segrests), the former Director of the Lycée Marsels, was one of the first teachers at the school. In addition to teaching French he also taught the Latvian language and literature. He was joined by Angelika Gailīte, a history teacher. It was located at Krisjana Valdemara street.

In 1965 the school was renamed as the Henri Barbusse Riga Secondary school No. 11. At this time it was located at 8 Mēness Street, Riga. On 21 September 1991 the original name, Riga French Lycée, was restored.
