5 reasons to study in Lyon

The second-largest city in France, Lyon is home to many universities in various fields (business, marketing, medicine, audiovisual, etc.). Whatever your course of study, you can be sure you’ll enjoy student life in Lyon. Nemea has some advice on how to discover Lyon and make the most of your student years.

Lyon: the best student city?

Lyon is an ultra-lively and rather lovely student city. After classes, it's common for students to gather along the quayside soaking up the sunshine and unwinding after a hard day's classes. In addition to its gorgeous setting, Lyon offers great professional opportunities for young graduates.

Public transport in Lyon

Another advantage of this large city is excellent public transport links. Subways, buses, trams, funiculars, bicycles... You’ll be spoilt for choice! Remember to ask TCL for reduced student fares.

Discover Lyon in 48 hours

Take the time to visit Lyon and its surroundings with your friends and family. Stroll through the streets of Lyon old town, have a picnic in Parc de la Tête d'Or or Place Bellecour, and enjoy the exceptional view from the top of the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière.
