Lycée Félix Éboué

Lycée Félix Éboué is the most prestigious public lycée in Cayenne, French Guiana, named after the legendary Félix Éboué — the first Black governor of a French colony and hero of the French Resistance during World War II. As French Guiana's most prominent general and technological lycée, the school serves students aged 15–18 preparing for the French Baccalauréat under the Académie de Guyane. Founded in the mid-20th century, Lycée Félix Éboué follows the full French national curriculum, offering a broad range of Baccalauréat specialties in sciences, humanities, economics, social sciences, and technology. Located in Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana on South America's northeastern coast, the school serves a diverse student body reflecting the territory's extraordinary multicultural makeup — including Creole, Amerindian, Hmong, Brazilian, Surinamese, and European communities. The school is a beacon of French Republican education in the Amazon region.
