Association des anciens élèves du lycée Alphonse-Daudet

The Association des anciens élèves du lycée Alphonse-Daudet is the alumni association of the Lycée Alphonse-Daudet, a public secondary and higher-education institution in Nîmes, in the Gard department of the Occitanie region of France. The lycée, originally the boys' lycée of Nîmes, was renamed Lycée Alphonse-Daudet in 1966 in honour of the French writer Alphonse Daudet. It is one of the three most populous lycées in the Montpellier academy, alongside Lycée Joffre in Montpellier and Lycée François-Arago in Perpignan, and its baccalauréat pass rate in 2019 was 94.2%. The alumni association exists to maintain links among former students and to support the school community. As a membership-based organisation, it does not sell products or operate commercial retail; its activities centre on networking, events, and preserving the memory of the institution. The association is listed on Wikidata as an association (Q63830809). Its public presence is hosted on the lycée's official website under the 'établissement en pratique' section. Because the association is a non-commercial alumni body rather than a product brand or company, this dossier is necessarily brief and focuses on its institutional context.

The Association des anciens élèves du lycée Alphonse-Daudet is the alumni association of the Lycée Alphonse-Daudet in Nîmes. The school itself has a long history: its site was originally a 16th-century hospice and later a hospital, and its neoclassical façade was built from 1807 on plans by architect Charles Durand with the approval of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1881 the municipality decided to transfer the old boys' lycée into the building, and it opened progressively from 1883 to 1888 as the first state boys' lycée of Nîmes. It was considerably enlarged between 1883 and 1885 by architects Lucien Feuchère and Alfred Granon de Grolier. In 1966, at the initiative of Maurice Gony, the school took the name of the writer Alphonse Daudet. It has been largely classified as a monument historique since 2007. The alumni association, as a distinct entity, is recorded on Wikidata as an association (Q63830809). No founding date, founder, or detailed organisational history for the association itself is provided in the available evidence; its public page is hosted on the lycée's official website. The association's purpose is to connect former students and to maintain ties with the institution.
