The lycée Carcado-Saisseval is a Catholic private school on the boulevard Raspail, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The lycée was formed from the Œuvre des enfants délaissés, an institution formed in 1803 by two widows, Mme de Carcado and Charlotte Hélène de Saisseval, who were both attached to Élisabeth of France, the sister of Louis XVI,[1] and after the French Revolution to the Société du Cœur de Marie, a religious organization founded by Adélaïde-Marie Champion de Cicé.[2][3] The school's aim was to provide education for children from all socioeconomic classes who had lost their parents during the French Revolution.[4] Carcado died in 1807; by the time of Saisseval's death, in 1850, the institute had one hundred students enrolled.[5]
