Resource for Expats Moving to Lyon

20 years ago
The new edition of "Breaking the Ice, Lyon"- entirely revised and updated - is now out. "Breaking the Ice" is an excellent, practical guide-book in English designed to help expatriates-international employees, researchers and students -- adjust to life in Lyon and in France. There's more information on http://www.breakingice.com as well as an online order form.

"Breaking the Ice" is available in Lyon at bookshops Decitre, Flammarion, and at the Tourist Office boutique (price:14 Euros). For information on bulk order rates, contact Isabelle directly at [email protected] . (For anyone who's moving to Grenoble, the second edition of Breaking the Ice, Grenoble is still available in stores and from Isabelle directly.)

When I moved to Grenoble, I found "Breaking the Ice" to be very useful because it is specific to life in my city, with good resources for expats and a bit of history as well as more general cultural-adjustment tips and helps. The books that describe how to adjust to French life in Paris just didn't help me nearly as much I continue to recommend both books to all newcomers to Grenoble and Lyon.
