Towns outside Lyon....where to live?

MichelleAC

We are moving from Canada to an area near Lyon. We do not want a large metropolis city, but rather something smaller, but still accessible to Lyon when we want larger city atmosphere.  Walking distance to market, butcher, dry cleaner, restaurants, bakeries is necessary. My husband will be traveling throughout Europe for work and although we will have a vehicle, walking distance is a must. We are looking at renting a house for the first year. We would like a yard (dog) with 3 or 3+ bedrooms. Proximity to schools is not necessary as our youngest is 21.  We are looking at Ecully, Limonest, Tassin la Demi Lune, Dardilly, Saint Cyr au Mont D'or.  Any suggestions on where to move to?  We will be coming over in January to look for homes.  We do have a relocation specialist but I would like some °µÍø½ûÇø opinions if possible.  Thanks!

Hello MichelleAC,

I live in the west of Lyon where you want to install, I am French, and I would be happy to give you information if you wish to help you make your choice.
If you're visiting Lyon during January, we could meet to discuss if you wish, it would be with great pleasure.
I could send you my email if you want so that we exchanged more easily.

I remain at your disposal, do not hesitate.
Sincerely,
Isabelle

Love the comprehensive list of neighborhoods posted by btabb. Do they still hold in 2017?  Looking for some more space for our family of 6, with easy access to the city offerings. Anyone weigh in about bringing the family Corgi?  Yay, or nay?
