I ain’t lyin' about LYON; It’s the most charming city in France
Lyon is an important city in France due to its long standing tradition of being a warm and welcoming host to travelers and merchants for centuries. The city of Lyon is blessed geographically by its closeness to several countries such as Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Since it sits at the head of the Rhone Valley, a major route between Northern and Southern Europe, it has become even stronger by the development of the single European market.

Lyon takes great pride in its relaxed yet detailed approach to life. Countless aspects of the ‘sweet life’ in Lyon, such as the cuisine, art, business style and architecture, have all been assembled with the best pieces of these foreign cultures. In fact, The UNESCO World Heritage Committee declared "Lyon, an eminent example of human settlement...an exceptional example of the continuity of urban installation over a period of more than two thousand years".
