Choose Lyon, the City of Light!
Lyon is the perfect city in which to organise your events.
Both you and visitors to your event will be won over by the city's many advantages and attractiveness.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, voted the capital of French gastronomy, and internationally recognised for its cultural events, such as the Fête des Lumières (Light Festival) and Biennial Modern Art Festival, Lyon has been a flourishing city for more than two thousand years !
Voted Europe's leading city-break destination, Lyon has continually worked to expand and improve its hotel and event infrastructures in order to offer tourists and congress-goers the best possible welcome. Moreover, in 2019, along with Helsinki, Lyon was voted 'European Capital of Sustainable Tourism', a title awarded by the European Union!
Lyon is a city of culture and history, but also a city with an attractive and vibrant economy. Ideally located at the crossroads of Europe in the heart of France's largest industrial region, Lyon is the second largest economic centre in France, with major business sectors such as biotechnology, chemistry-environment, urban public transport, digital technology and textiles.
For all its awards, distinctions and prizes... nothing is better than experiencing the city first hand!
