Hi! I'm an american expatriate and I thought a great way for all expatriates including yourself would be to come to this event for expatriates in Lyon and the Lyon area:

LYON à la CARTE is an international expatriate expo that will take place on Saturday, October 17th at the Hilton Cité internationale, Lyon FR. It offers a menu of things for you to choose from in the city and the Rhône-Alpes region so that you can live, work and feel at home no matter how long you’ve lived here.

LYON à la CARTE focuses on helping all cultures adapt to Lyon by providing essential information, showcasing area services, and creating an open and friendly social networking meeting place for people to exchange their experiences. Check out our 2009 sponsors and exhibitors at lyon a la carte's website. Most importantly, LYON à la CARTE is here to welcome you and make this great city more accessible.

Spread the word. It will be a great experience
