At the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, he was subjected to"severe corporal
punishment," including"flagellation," and he"spent the rest of his adult life obsessed with the violent act.".
On the flip side,
I don't speak French or Finnish and can't even pronounce Lycée Français with an accent that isn't laughably cringeworthy(or“cringy” as my daughter would say)
to every francophiles' ears.
