Hello!
Thanks for you offer of help, you must be inundated with requests. I am moving to Lyon from the US in summer'09 (though I'm originally from the UK) I hope you won't hold that against me
I'm hoping to secure work at a private language school in the center an will be looking for an apartment to rent, not necessarily in the center, don't mind a commute in....would 500 - 600 euros be a realistic rent to pay? and can i stay in touch to pester you again..)

many thanks

andrea
