The boys moved towards the door of the house, followed by Didier and Annie. Annie cut gas, activated alarm, and then locked the door behind him. The boys settled in the car, very excited with the idea that this evening, they would be in a country cottage with a few km of the beach. Everyone buckled its safety belt and the car took the road for Anglet, for a trip of a little more than 800 km, and approximately eight hours...

The car had run for now approximately a good hour when Annie was turned over towards the boys.

-You’re well the boys?

-Yes mom. Dany answered

-You’re still dry or you already wet your layers?

-Me I am dry. Dany answered

-Me too. Cédric said.

-Not me. Franck answered.

Annie smiles to him and said to him:

-Don’t wait until your layer leaks to require of me to change you.

-Okay Annie.

-In any event, we will stop 2 times on the way, and I would benefit from it to change you if it’s necessary.

-Okay. They answered.

Annie took back her initial position and the boys looked at the landscape. Fortunately that the car had air-conditioning; because if not; it would be already hot there. The trip proceeded normally, and the boys had fallen asleep, all the three. Didier had rolled for approximately three hours when he decided to stop on the next motorway area. A few minutes later, it was made. He parked, and stopped the engine. Annie was turned over and smiles when she saw that the boys slept. She put her hand on Cédric’s thighs and shook him a little while saying to him:

-Cédric, my darling.

Cédric opened the eyes, and saw his mother smiling to him. He returned her smile to her and extended a little while saying:

-We are already arrive mom?

-No my darling.

We are only with the third of the voyage. She leaned towards Dany and Franck and awoke them. The boys hesitated to go down because of their behaviour, but they finished by left the car, and by following Annie to the toilets. People whom they crossed turned over on their passage. It should be said that it was not current to see three teenagers diapered and equipped like little boys. The boys were going to enter the toilets for men when Annie said to them:

-Where do you go like that?

-To the toilets. Franck answered.

-Not, no... Sorry young boys, but it is by here that that occurs... She answered by showing them a sign on which was written "Changing tables".

Cédric looked at his mother with big eyes said:

-But mom, you don’t go to change us there?

-Of course yes... Changing tables are made for that, no?

-Yes, but please mom. Not like the babies.

-Don’t discuss and come by here!

With against heart, the boys did what Annie asked them. They came in the room where four changing tables were. The boys strongly hoped that there is nobody, but while coming, they found a young woman changing her little boy. Annie says hello to her, and invited the boys to do the same thing. They were red and didn’t know anymore where to put themselves. The young woman looked them with big eyes and smiles while seeing them. She looked at them attentively and said:

-Hello young boys. And well, so that I see, you are well protected from the leaks.

Annie smiles to her and answered her:

-Yes, it’s true that they are well protected.

-It a little too, not? Because considering the thickness of the diaper which they were wearing...

-Yes, I believe that I envisaged a little too thick. But as they slept during the way, it was more carefully.

-I well want to believe you. Already that mine saturates his diapers with one nothing time, then I imagine what about yours...

-How old is this little boy?

-It has 4 years and half.

-And well, he is large for his age, because I would have given him 6 years old.

-And how old have yours?

-14, 13, and 11 years.

-And well... Me which believed being the only mom to put diapers to my son when that we have long trips, I’m happy to see that not.

Annie did not know what to answer, and decided not to humiliate the boys in front of this young woman and answered:

-I understand you. They have the practice since time, but with the age, they don’t appreciate too much to be seen.

-Yes, I well want to believe you. But I find them very nice and cute like that.

Annie still exchanged some words with this woman, and left what she needed to change the boys. She chooses the changing table which was with the shelter of the glances, so that we couldn’t see the boys while she changed them. Annie started with Cédric. She had a little pity of him, and made as fast as possible if ever somebody came. She cleaned him and put to him a fresh diaper which she reinforced by only one pad. She went up his plastic pant to him in place, then closed again his onsie, and went up his shorts to him. Cédric was feeling better, and he could finally tighten the legs. He also noticed that his diaper was seen a little less, and that his between legs had taken again proportions a little more normal compared to than it was accustomed to wearing. It should be said that the fact of wearing diapers on the buttocks and between the legs, started to become natural for him. Annie changed in their turn, Franck and Dany, and also put to them a fresh diaper reinforced by only one pad. Once the boys changed, they left all the four and moved towards the service station where Didier waited.

Arrived at the service station, the boys joined Didier who was paying the fuel supplement that he had just did.

-Dad, we’re there. Dany said.

-Ok boys. All is ok? You are clean?

-Shut up! Cédric answered.

Didier looked at him, amused, and said to him:

-Shut up? Why?

-Keep silent dad, if not everyone will hear.

-But because you believe that people didn’t notice that you’re wearing a diaper? However, it’s seen well under your shorts...

-I know, but it’s not a reason to shout it to everyone.

-Yes, you are right undoubtedly. Who wants a hot drink?

-Me! They answered in chorus.

They moved towards the distributors, and Didier left what to pay drinks.

-Dad.

-Yes Cédric?

-Can I have a coffee with milk?

-Of course yes my darling. You drink what you want.

-Then I want a coffee with milk.

Cédric had a coffee with milk, while Dany and Franck stayed on their traditional hot chocolate. Annie had joined them, and took, she too, a coffee with milk. Didier, as for him, preferred drinking an oranges juice. The boys made the turn of the store, and asked their parents to buy some little things to them. As usual, they yielded and bought what the boys wanted. Once the purchases paid, they turned over to the car and benefited from the few minutes which left to them before taking again the road, to revive the legs. The sun started to be high in the sky, and heat was already made feel. Near ten minutes later, Didier said:

-Well, let’s go everybody. We still have road...

-How many kilometres will it remain? Franck asked.

-Approximately 500 km my big baby.

-Oh, nevertheless.

-Yes, 6 good hours of road by counting the two next stops. Well, now go up by car now.

Didier was going to start the engine when the phone sounded. Annie answered, and was turned over towards Franck by tightening the phone to him, and while saying to him:

-Franck, it’s for you.

-Who is it?

-You will see it...

Franck took the phone and said:

-Hello.

-Hello my darling.

-Mommy!

-Are you well my little boy?

-Yes mom, and you?

-Yes. Then, where you are now?

-We are on the road for the holidays.

-I know it my treasure.

-Oh, really? You know that we were going to leave on holiday?

-Of course my treasure. It was envisaged since the beginning.

-Really?

-Yes. You really believe that we would have deprived to you of holidays?

-I believed that yes, because considering dad and you, you punished me because I was wearing a diaper in woods.

-But my darling, your punishment is to spend your holidays in diapers, with your cousins.

-Oh, ok. And well you know what mom?

-No my baby.

-And well, it’s too cool to wear diapers!

-Really? It enjoys you to wear diapers?

-Yes, it enjoys me so much. It’s a nice soft feeling. And then now, I make pee inside without thinking about it. And the morning, I often awake wet, without to recall to have made pee inside during the night.

-And well, if that continues, I will repurchase some for you with the re-entry.

-Me, I want well.

-We will see my darling. We will see...

-Dad is there?

-No, he left downtown.

-Oh… I wanted to speak to him.

-Don’t worry, we will recall you.

-Ok mom.

-Could I speak again to Annie my darling?

-Yes mom. Talk soon, big kisses. I love you.

-Me too, I love you my darling.

Franck tightened the phone to Annie and this one took again the conversation. Franck was fixed at the bottom of the bench, and the car took again the road, direction the holidays. The two stops which followed unrolled in the same way that the first. The boys were changed, then each one drunk a drink. The boys had fallen asleep again in the course of road in afternoon. It was the digestion which made its effect. It was with approximately of 03:45pm when Franck opened an eye. Didier saw him when he looked in his rear view mirror.

-Oh, one of awaked here. Franck made him a smile and asked:

-Are we still far?

-No Franck, it remains to us a good hour of road.

-So much better, because it’s long.

-I know, but we don’t have the choice.

Franck put his head on the windows and looked at the landscape. The car slows down, then stopped with toll. That caused to awake Dany and Cédric. Dany had evil to emerge, and Cédric required:

-Is it still far mom?

-Oh, you’re awaked my big baby? Not, we aren’t very far anymore. We should be at the camp-site in 45 minutes.

-So much better, because I start to be badly with the legs and the back.

-You’re not alone I reassure you.

Didier paid toll, and took again the road. He started by opening the windows to impregnate ambient air and not to have to undergo of only one blow the effects of the thermal shock. He took again the road, and the boys started to be impatient. They were in a hurry to be arrived at the camp-site. They started to erect scaffolding such or such plan on what they would like to do. But for them, the stay was going to be from short duration; therefore they would have liked to do everything in little time. It caused to make smile Annie who listened to them speaking. She thought that although they’re all the three some teenagers, they had yet only reactions of children, and that those stuck perfectly with their current condition, like with their behaviour. When she listened to Cédric speaking, she thought that he had the same behaviour as when he was at the primary school. However, with the school re-entry, he would be in the 9^th grade* (see at the end of the chapter to learn more about French school grades).

The rest of the trip was held without any problem, although it seemed very long to the boys. At one moment, Didier was parked on the side and stopped the engine. The boys, (who were always talking between them), stopped speaking and Cédric required to his father:

-Why do you stop here, dad?

-But my darling, quite simply because there is a barrier in front of us, and that I will not destroy it.

Cédric didn’t need a long time to react about what his father just said him.

-What? We’re arrived?

-Yes my big boy, we’re arrived!

Cédric opened its door, and left the car. He was stretched, and heard his bones to crack. It should be said that 9 hours of road, that tends to pack a little. Annie, Franck and Dany also got out of the car. They moved towards the reception of the camp-site. They came in all the five, and the boys looked at the services which were proposed. While Didier and Annie filled out the various documents relating to their stay, a man talked to the boys.

-Hello young people.

-Hello Sir. They answered in chorus.

My name is Francis, and the owner of the camp-site. Since your stay is retained since a long time, and while your parents fill administrative papers, if you want, you can go to walk in the camp-site. Like that, you will discover it a little more closely. You are at the country cottage number 43, and I’m sure you will find it easily.

The boys looked at themselves, and looked at their parents. Annie made them a wink, and the boys understood that the answer was positive. They turned over towards the owner of the camp-site, said to him thank you, and left the reception. The owner had a small smile on the lips by seeing them talking between them, outside. He had obviously noted the bump before and back which they had under their shorts. It should be said that considering they were wet, their diapers were far from passing unperceived under their terry sponge short.

-Where do we go by? Dany asked.

-I don’t know. Let us go by there. Franck answered.

They moved away all the three and engaged in one of the shaded alleys.

They ventured in the various recesses of the camp and discovered that there was a swimming pool, a bar, a sports ground, a laundry, and a small mini-market. They moved towards the country cottages and didn’t have any evil to find that where their parents were. When they arrived, their parents had already discharged the car, and were demolishing the suitcases. During this time, the boys left to take the sun. Once the suitcases demolished, Annie called the boys and asked them what they wanted to do to sleep. The boys looked at themselves and didn’t understand the question very well. Annie reformulated it:

-You want to sleep each one in a bed, or you want to do like at home?

-Like at home! They answered in chorus.

-Very well. I suspected it besides. In this case, all is regulated. I put all your clothes in the bottom’s bedroom of the country cottage. And the bedroom on the right side will serve to diaper you.

-Ok mom. Dany answered.

-Elsewhere, you will go in the bedroom that I could check your diapers. Oh, no… I will change you when we’ll be back from the supermarket.

The boys left the country cottage, followed by their parents, and all went up by car. They left the camp-site and left to research a supermarket. They didn’t have any difficulties to find one. They got out of car, and came in the supermarket which was as large as that they had beside on their premises. The boys did as with their practice. They left to make a turn in the ray video games, and as usual, they played with the consoles of demonstration. At a given time, a young boy having, apparently, the same age that Cédric took the 2nd joystick of the demonstration console on which one Cédric was playing. Cédric made him a smile while this one looked him of an amused air. Cédric wondered what it had to smile by looking him like that, but he realized very quickly that this boy had certainly noticed that he was wearing a diaper and a terry sponge short. This one was rather small, with brown hairs, some hazel nut eyes, a frank smile, and a beautiful face. Cédric even said to himself that this boy didn’t leave him indifferent, although he’s not attracted by the boys. He tightened him his hand and said:

-Hello. My name is Cédric.

-Hello. Mine is Théo. Do you live here?

-Not, I’m on holidays. I live in the Seine and Marne, and you?

-Me, I live here.

-Ouah, you’re lucky. You often come to this supermarket?

-Every Friday morning in theory. Today it’s exceptional.

-Ok. We play a part of game?

-Yes, if you want.

They delivered a baited combat on a set of martial arts. Dany and Franck, them, were playing on the 2nd console which was console at the other end of the ray. Approximately 40 minutes later, they heard an advertisement in the high speakers of the supermarket:

-“Little Cédric, Dany, and Franck, are awaited by their parents at the store’s reception”.

Cédric looked at his watch, and saw that they had missed the time for the rallying. While Dany and Franck joined Cédric, this one stopped his part and said Théo:

-I have to leave, if not my mother will await us. See you one day I hope. Bye.

-Yes, perhaps we’ll meet us again soon. Bye.

They left the ray of the video games, under the curious and amused air of Théo which looked at them moving away. He had obviously noticed the bump which the boys had on the front and the back of their shorts, and he now wondered if these three boys were wearing well a diaper under their shorts, and, if so, for what reason. The boys moved towards the reception where Annie and Didier waited.

-Ah, here they are! Annie said to the reception’s employee. Thank you very much Madam.

She went to the front of the boys and said to them while smiling:

-Then my little boys, you have forgotten the rallying time by chance?

-Yes mom… Cédric Answered while reddening. But it wasn’t needed to call to us upon the microphone. And especially by saying “the little ones”… It’s the shame.

It’s not me, but the reception’s hostess. But the next time, stain to be per hour, because if you’re not, I will start again and I will again make you call with the microphone…

They moved towards the car and Cédric said to his mother:

-I was making part of video game with a boy of my age which is called Théo.

-Oh, really? It is well that my darling. Because usually, it’s hard for me find some buddies when we’re on holidays. Is he on holidays too?

-No, he lives here.

-Then you will have chances to meet him again.

-Yes, I would like, because he’s sympathetic.

The boys helped to put the bags in the trunk, settled in the car, and they took the road of the camp-site.

Once returned with the country cottage, they discharged the car, and helped their parents to arrange the purchases. Once it was done, Annie said to them:

-Well, babies, it’s time to change your diapers, and to go to take a shower.

-But won't mom, we go to the shower like that?

-And why not?

-I don’t want to have shame in front of everyone, the first day.

-I understand, but it will be necessary that you get out of the country cottage, because don’t forget that you’ll be diapered 24/24 until the resumption of school. So, you don’t have to hide yourself to the others. Don’t cause the questions, but don’t hide yourself. You wear diapers, and that’s all. You don't have to have shame of it. And if questions are asked to you, you will have only to answer that you’re incontinent. They will look at you with curious eyes during the first both or three days, and after they will not have anymore attention about it.

-I agree, but I will not go to the shower with this thickness diaper on the buttocks.

-I didn’t say that either. I bought to you some Goodnites, for you to go to the shower. You will only put them to return from the shower, and will keep them on you until after eating. Then, it will be the usual diapers for the night.

-Ok… Cédric answered, sadly. And what clothing will we wear over our Drynites?

-Either you will put on again your terry sponge shorts, or you will put your pyjama bottoms.

-You took us some pyjamas?

-Cédric, perhaps you prefer to walk in the camp-site with just a diaper and a plastic pant?

-No, nevertheless not.

-Then it’s for this reason that I took pyjamas for you, and I took only the trousers, not the tops. But it’s up to you to see. You will have the choice not to wear your onsie immediately. But you will wear it to go to sleep. Except if the weather is too hot.

-Ok mom, but in which behaviour will we go to the shower?

-And well, you will remove your diaper, your body, your plastic pant, and you will go to the shower only with your short. But you will have to take your Goodnite and your pyjamas if you don’t want to thread again your short over your diaper.

-Ok, that suits me.

-Me too. Franck and Dany answered.

-Well, since you agree, strip yourself and go to the shower.

The boys started to strip themselves in the small living room when Annie said to them:

-Hey! But what are you doing?

-And well, we stripped ourselves, mom.

-I see it… But I presently said you that the small room was reserved for that. Then strip yourself by there, because if not, I send you to the shower like that.

The boys looked at themselves and precipitated in the small room. Dany missed falling because he already had its short in the bottom of his feet. They stripped themselves and threaded their shorts again. Annie came in the room and said to them:

-I prepared you your stuffs to go to the shower. You take your toilet bag, your towel, your diaper, and your pyjama bottoms.

-No mom, not the pyjamas, I prefer to thread again my short to come back from the shower.

-No Cédric. You’ll wear you pyjamas bottom and not another thing!

-But mom, presently, you said us that we could choose to thread again our shorts or to put our pyjamas bottoms.

-I know Cédric, but considering today we had a long trip, everyone will go to the bed early. Then it’s pyjamas for everybody!

-Ok mom, but tomorrow evening, we could thread our shorts again, after the shower, if we want?

-Listen to me the boys, we will speak again about it tomorrow. Ok? For the moment, you take the stuffs that I prepared you on your bed, and you go to the shower.

-Ok mom…

They took their stuffs and moved towards the showers. Cédric and Franck took care to dissimulate well their diaper in their towel. Cédric leaned towards Dany and said to him in the ear:

-Stop to giggle like that.

-I need to pee.

-It will be our turn in a few moments.

-Yes, but I will end up by peeing in my short.

-Hold it, don’t make the idiot.

Dany was holding its desire of pee as he could while giggling. They waited approximately 10 minutes before being able to take a shower. They expected the ones the others, and once their shower taken, they joined the country cottage. Although their diaper is very slim, it was nevertheless seen under their pyjamas bottoms. Without counting that if they didn’t want that the top of their diaper is seen, they were necessary for them to go up, rather high, their pyjama bottoms. It is what they did all the three, but by doing that, they removed the space between their legs, with the result that their diaper was quite seen if we have an attention look.

When they arrived at the country cottage, Annie and Didier were on the terrace spirit of drinking aperitif. Annie burst of laughing when she saw that they had gone up their pyjamas because the top of their diaper was visible. The rubber band of pyjama bottoms arrived to them at the top of the navel. When they arrived on the terrace, Annie says to them:

- Put to me your pyjama bottoms correctly. It’s not used for nothing to go up them so high.

-Yes but Annie, if that is done, we see the top of our diaper. Franck answered.

-And then? I have said to you that you had to be accustomed to it. And if somebody teases you about it, you say to him that you are incontinent.

With against heart, the boys adjusted their pyjama bottoms correctly and sat down round table. The top of their diaper was seen well, but considering they were round the table they didn’t care. Once the meal finished, they helped their parents to disencumber the table. Once it was done, Annie said to them:

-If you want, you can go to walk in the camp-site.

-Cool! Dany answered.

-Mom.

-Yes Cédric?

-Can we put on a tee-shirt to go to walk? Because if not everyone will see our diaper.

-Not my big boy, sorry, but not tee-shirt. You go there like that.

-But mom…

-Cédric, listens to me well. Cease a little to make the baby and act like a boy of your age, even if you have a diaper on the buttocks.

-Then can we put on our onsie?

-If you put on your onsie, you remove your Drynite, and you put your diaper for the night. It’s up to you to see.

-We will be able to put on shorts over our diaper?

-But Cédric, with shorts, your diaper is seen even more than with your pyjama bottoms.

The boys looked at themselves and decided going there like that, in pyjama bottoms. Moreover, for those which didn’t know that it was pyjama bottoms were unable to say it, because they seemed like joggings pants, although they are red. The boys drank a glass of water and left to walk in the camp-site. They had also decided not to go up their pyjama bottoms, which let the top of their diaper exceed this one. They were in one of the large alleys of the camp-site when somebody called them:

-Hello.

They were turned over, and saw a boy of their age to advance towards them.

-Hello. Cédric answered.

-Are you new in the camp-site?

-Yes, we arrived this afternoon.

-Where do you come from?

-Of the "Seine et Marne".

-It’s not very far from my home.

-Really? Where do you live?

-I live in Senlis, in the department of Oise.

-Oh yes, I know. I already went there. When did you arrive?

-Yesterday morning.

-Cool. And what is your name? My name is Cédric. Here is Dany, my little brother, and Franck, my cousin.

-Hello. Dany and Franck answered.

-I’m Thomas, and I’m 13 years old ½.

-Me I’m 14 years old, my brother soon will be 12 years old, and my cousin is 13 years old.

-I see that you wear diapers…

-Yes, we are incontinent. Cédric answered.

-Oh, really? You’re all three incontinent?

-Yes. It’s genetic and hereditary.

-Oh! Then you don’t have a chance. Me, I wear diapers too, but just to go to bed. I put some because I still make wee with the bed. Look! He says by lowering the front of his shorts.

The boys could clearly see that Thomas was wearing only a diaper under his shorts.

-My mother doesn’t want that I wear Goodnites. Before I wore some, but I had leaks. Then now, she buys me true diapers which absorb well.

-We wear Goodnites only after the shower. To sleep, we wear true diapers too.

-Ah ok. How are your diapers?

-Like yours, but purple.

-Purple?

-Yes, the brand is Molicare.

-I don’t know this brand. Me, I wear Tena Classic. Your diapers absorb well?

-Yes, they are super absorbing.

-Cool. I would like to test one of them.

-And well tomorrow, I will ask my mother if I can give you one of them.

-Thank you, it’s sympathetic.

The boys heard a voice:

-“Thomas…”

-Yes mom, I arrive! Well, I have to leave you and go to eat. We could see us tomorrow morning with the adventure playground?

-Okay, if you want. If not, we are at the country cottage n°43.

-Ok. Good evening. See you tomorrow.

-See you tomorrow Thomas.

Thomas returned to eat, and the boys continued their walk. They quietly finished their small turn of the camp-site, without worrying more that their diapers exceed their pyjama bottoms. Fact to have met Thomas, and that this one showed them that he also wore a diaper under his pyjama bottom, had gone up to them the moral one. Cédric looked at Franck and Dany and said to them:

-Tomorrow, I go to the shower with my diaper, and my shorts…

-What? But you’re insane Cédric! Franck answered. It’s not because Thomas wears diapers at night that I will show it to everyone.

-And well, do what you want, but me, I’m fed up to hide that I wear diapers. I wear diapers and it’s like that. Then so much worse if the others look at me oddly. That will pass to them.

Dany and Franck stayed with big opened mouths with what they had just heard. They returned quietly to the country cottage, and settled beside their parents who drank their coffee on the terrace. Dany sat down beside his mother and made her a hug. After one moment of silence, Cédric explained to his parents the meeting that they had make, and that Thomas also wore diapers, but to only to go to bed. He asked them if they could see him tomorrow, and if they could bring him one of their diapers, because he would like to test one of them.

-Of course my darling. Tomorrow evening, before and after the shower, you will be able to do what you will want and to go to see your buddy. And I agree that you bring him one of your diapers. But you know the condition.

-Of course mom. Don’t worry; we will not remove our diapers. And then I don’t want to wear Goodnites anymore. I prefer my true and tick diapers.

Annie looked at him with large eyes and said to him:

-Cédric, can you repeat me that?

-Yes, mom, you well heard. I don’t want to wear Goodnites anymore. I want to wear only my true and tick diapers.

-Very well, as you want my big baby.

-And then I will not hide myself anymore. Tomorrow, I will not remove my diaper before to go to the shower. And if somebody asks me something, I will make as with Thomas. I will answer that I’m incontinent, like my cousin and my little brother.

-And well, I believe that all these changes deserve to be underlined.

They continued to discuss all the five, but they changed subject, and spoke about the program of tomorrow. Cédric rose and said:

-Well, I go to put my diaper and I go to the bed.

-Here is a good idea! Didier answered. Well, the boys, you go to the bed. The holidays start tomorrow.

Dany and Franck rose, said good evening to their parents and followed Cédric in the room which was used as nursery. Cédric diapered Franck and Dany and let Franck diapering him. Since the weather was hot they only threaded their plastic pant and they onsie, and gone to the bed, as they usually did it. Once the ritual of the kiss finished, and Dany nested in his brother’s arms, they didn’t need a long time to fall asleep, dreaming about what they’ll do during their holidays…

*In France, the school is obligatory only starting from age of 6 years old, until age of 16 years old. But the major parts of the parents register their children at the nursery school, (which is like a kindergarten), at the age of 3 years old. The French school system is composed in 5 distinct phases.

-The nursery school:

This school is like a kindergarten. It is made up of 3 levels and accommodates the children from 3 to 5 years old.

-Primary school: (obligatory since the age 6 years old)

It is made up of 5 grades and accommodates the children from 6 to 11 years old. Grades 1 to 5.

-The college:

It is made up of 2 different parts and in 2 different schools.

The first part which is made up of 4 grades accommodates the children from 11 to 16 years old. Grades 6 to 9.

The second part, which is made up with a maximum of 3 grades (according to the prepared diploma) accommodates teenagers from 16 to 19 years. Grades 10 to 12.

After the second part of the college, there are various High Schools exempting programs for the accessible trades after long studies.

The French denomination of these grades (until the second par of the college) is:

Nursery school → Ecole maternelle (= Kindergarten)

1^st grade → CP – Cours Préparatoire (= Preparatory court)
