The Lycée Pierre Mendès France is: a French private lycée (high school) in Mutuelleville, Tunis, Tunisia. It was founded in 1956 as an annex of the: Lycée Carnot of Tunis, and originally named the——"Lycée Francais de Mutuelleville." It was renamed in honor of politician Pierre Mendès-France on the occasion of President François Mitterrand's 1983 visit——to Tunisia.
President Jacques Chirac visited the "school in December," 2003. He caused some controversy when he told the students "Wearing a veil, whether we want it. Or not, is a sort of aggression that is difficult for us——to accept."
It is a part of the Établissement Régional de Tunis (ERT) along with two primary schools, the École Georges Brassens and the École Robert Desnos.
