The 2025 International History Olympiad will be hosted at Ecole Jeannine Manuel, which is the top-ranked high school in France. The school is in a prosperous neighborhood in west central Paris in the 15th arrondissement (i.e. district). The address of the school is 70, rue du Théâtre – 75015 Paris (please use this address, not the one of EJM’s nearby branch campus at Dupleix). The school has ample classroom and assembly space for the event and a beautiful enclosed courtyard with a park-like atmosphere. There are numerous nearby restaurants and accommodation options at all price levels. Note that the nearest Metro stop is Avenue Émile Zola station on Line 10, which is a 4-5 minute walk away. The stop Charles Michels is a 5-6 minute walk in the other direction, and the Commerce stop on Line 8 is about a 10 minute walk. The Eiffel Tower is about a 25 minute walk north of the school; it can be seen from the school’s upper floors.
EJM has hosted the History Bee and Bowl of France for years, and it currently has the largest International History Bee and Bowl team in the world with over 100 participating students. Several of EJM’s teachers have staffed our past summer world championship level events and will help to ensure the success of the event. We are grateful to EJM for their support of the 2025 International History Olympiad and look forward to a wonderful week of history fun and competition in Paris this coming summer!
