A Business Capital

The capital of the Rhone-Alps Region, Lyon is at a strategic location...at the crossroads of Northern and Southern Europe, linked by wonderful motorways, an internatinal airport and a great train system. It is also the No. 2 metropolitan area in France including one third of all of it's population under the age of 20! Out of about 2.1 million...interesting statistics...Great news for all you young folks!
Not only is this creative and historic place a metropolis of shops, cultural acitvities and river banks, it is a European business capital.
Lyon generates one of the highest production of goods in all of Europe. Fabric being the highly developed and most noted, it's it's what has helped flourished thousands of jobs in that region alone. Environmental industries, health, mechanical engineering and the service sector are just a few others...
It most definitely has a range of acitivities and flavours for every taste~

The river bank

Needless to say, Lyon has achieved a rare quality of excellence still with all of the advantages of housing, shops and transportation and yet has preserved the quality of life.
