InterNations - A Place for Australians in Lyon
Hello to all of our Australians in Lyon! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Australian expats in Lyon? Are you looking for advice from other Australians, e.g. which bars in Lyon will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for vegemite?

I am excited about meeting so many open-minded people, who are willing to help a total stranger enjoy Lyon.
Maria Cristina Alves
If you don't speak French, it is difficult to find friends here. But InterNations helped me to meet other expats and get tips to improve my language skills.

Why Australian expats move abroad (& how they like it)
Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Australian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
