Annalee and Giselle with new friends and classmates at the Maison d’Éducation de la Légion d’Honneur. This is a public boarding school founded by Napoleon in December 1805 for the daughters of the members of the National Order of the Legion of Honor, the highest honor given to both citizens and soldiers of France. High school students in grades the equivalent of sophomores through seniors and one year beyond live in the 18th century abbey buildings adjacent to the Basilique de Saint-Denis where most of the kings of France are buried.
