Lyon, an international college town

Why Lyon ?

Its remarkable location at the heart of Europe links Lyon on an average of 1 ½ hours to all of the major European metropolises, Barcelona, Milan, Turin, and Geneva thanks to an equally well performing network of communication by air, road, or rail (3 TGV ‘bullet train’ stations). The train network puts Lyon at 2 hours from Paris, and 5 hours from London by Eurostar. The proximity of Provence, the Mediterranean, the Alps, and the large wine regions add charm to the Lyon area.

An international economic and university center. Every year, Lyon’s prestigious schools and universities welcome over 100,000 students. Lyon is home to renowned international institutions like Interpol, Euronews, and The International Center for Cancer Research

Lyon can aspire to one of the top positions among European economic regions thanks to local industries including multimedia, electronics, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, IT, plastics technology, textiles and services such as banks, insurance, engineering, consulting and computer programming.
Examples of local companies include Rhône-Poulenc, Aventis, Renault VI, Mérieux Institute, Boiron Laboratories, Péchiney, Poclain, Hewlett Packard, Siemens, IBM, Infogrames, Adecco, Plastic Omnium, Cap Gémini, Descours and Cabaud, SEB, Delta Airlines, Sopragroup …
 
"Coming from the Czech Republic to study at CEFAM has been a big, yet positive change for me. I find the atmosphere very positive here. My classmates and all of the CEFAM staff have been very welcoming and helpful. The fact that CEFAM is so international helps with integration. The teachers are very kind and their classes are interesting and motivating. I am thankful to everyone and wish them all the best at CEFAM."  Dagmar
