With shops, cinemas, exhibitions, concerts, sports centres, bars, restaurants, nightclubs and much more, you will find a huge amount to enjoy in Lyon. There is something to suit all tastes and budgets. In the 2000 years since the Romans made Lugdunum (their name for Lyon) one of the ancient world’s most important cities, it has developed into a top international destination - especially for foodies. Head a short distance out of the city and enjoy the beautiful countryside that surrounds and provides the ingredients for the legendary local cuisine. Enjoy the walks, take a bike ride or taste the latest wines from the Beaujolais region. Its closeness to the Mediterranean, Paris and Geneva makes Lyon an ideal destination for studying French, and you will no doubt be seduced by its beauty, rich culture and festive atmosphere.
