Lycée Claude-Nicolas LEDOUX / EBTP

Introduction

Lycée Claude-Nicolas Ledoux – EBTP (École du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics), in Vincennes, is a public institution whose identity is closely tied to the trades of construction and design. Its name pays tribute to Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, an 18th-century French architect known for his "speaking" architecture and utopian projects.

Alongside its technical and vocational programs in building and public works, the institution hosts a higher education division in applied arts, offering DN MADE (Diplôme national des métiers d'art et du design) programs in Espace and Événement.

Strengths

The Espace program covers interior architecture, scenography, the design of public and private spaces, and the relationship between use, materials and light. The Événement program deals with ephemeral design: stands, exhibitions, installations, and the staging of brands and venues.

The school's grounding in the field of building construction is a distinctive feature: students work in an environment where constructive, technical and material issues are present on a daily basis, which can foster a concrete approach to spatial design.

Good to know

DN MADE programs run for three years after the baccalauréat and admission is through Parcoursup, based on an application file (transcripts, cover letter and, generally, a portfolio of personal work). They lead to a bachelor's degree level qualification and open the way to a master's degree, a DSAA, or professional integration within an agency.
