With 505,100 inhabitants, Lyon serves a population of more than 160,000 students. Half-way between Paris and the French Riviera, it is also well-known for its medical schools, research centers, various industries and pleasant location near the Alps. Lyon is also served by the international Saint-Exupéry Airport and the fast train TGV line.
