About Lyon

Lyon is the capital of the Rhône-Alpes région, and the préfecture (capital) of the Rhône département.

The city gave its name to the Lyonnais province, of which it was the capital. Today the region around Lyon is still known as Lyonnais (French: le Lyonnais), or sometimes even as the Lyonnaise Region (French: Région Lyonnaise). Lyonnaise Region is an unofficial, popular name, not to be confused with the administrative région of Rhône-Alpes, which is much larger than the Lyonnaise Region.

Transportation
Airport: Saint-Exupéry International Airport

Lyon is connected to the North (Lille, Paris) and the South (Marseille, Montpellier) by the TGV. It was the first city to be connected by the TGV c.1982.

In addition to the extensive metro and bus system, Lyon has a tramway system. It has a public velo / bike network of 2000 bikes which can be picked up and dropped off at points around the city.

The Lyon Metro, in Lyon, France, first opened in 1978 and now consists of 4 lines.
Like the French Railways, but unlike most other French Metro systems, the Lyon Metro runs on the left, the result of an unrealised project to run the metro over the railway lines to the suburbs. The loading gauge, at 2.90 metres, is more generous than the average for metros in Europe.

About Lyon - Healthcare

There are two main types of providers available to expatriates - the mutuelles and the commercial insurers. There are differences that go beyond the simple fact that one is non-profit making. But because mutuelles are non-profit making does not mean that premiums are necessarily lower.
