Language Classes
If your find that your high school French classes
aren’t enough to manage your daily life
in Lyon, you might consider taking a French
class. Many options are available so you choose
to take private lessons or participate in a
class with other expats. Check the Petites Annonces
section of The Anglophones for French classes
offered in Lyon or place your own ad to find
a teacher right for you. If you are tight on
funds, consider exchanging French lessons for
English lessons with a French person.

like the option of choosing your own physician
and pharmacies open 24 hours in each neighborhood.

the details for receiving treatments and being
