The Lycée Français de Riga (Latvian: Rīgas Franču Licejs) was founded in September 1921 in the town of Riga in Latvia. Marsels Etjēns Segrests, the former Director of the Lycée Marsels, was one of the first teachers at the school. In addition to teaching French he also taught the Latvian language and literature. He was joined by Angelika Gailīte, a history teacher.
In 1965 the school was renamed as the Henri Barbusse Riga 11th secondary school. At this time it was located at 8 Meness Street, Riga. On 21 September 1991 the original name, Lycée Français de Riga, was restored.
