By Banking in France using BOA there is NO fee when you withdraw The easiest way is to use an American bank that partners with French banks. Bank of America (BOA) is great and is partnered from any BNP ATM! with Banque National de Paris (BNP). You will most likely have to open a BNP account in order for the CAF (Government Aid for Rent) to be directly deposited and to pay rent. VISIT: www.bankofamerica.com www.bnpparibas.net Housing (On-Campus vs. Off-Campus) There are several options to find housing in Lyon. The main one, which many international students take advantage of, is the university housing. Another option is renting an apartment from a company, such as Nexity. They have buildings designated just for university students, which are usually in walking distance to the campuses around Lyon. Nexity: http://www.nexity.fr/immobilier/particuliers/louer/essentiel-sur-la-location/location- etudiante You can also find private accommodation such as home stays and other private shared apartments (you would have your own bedroom, but share the kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc. Talk with UMKC French professors or contact students who have already studied abroad in Lyon to get their views on where to stay! ** Be prepared to spend some money on furnishing your new apartment. Even though most student housing options come furnished, this only includes: bed, mattress, desk, bookshelf, and fridge. Everything else you will have to purchase. Luckily there is an Ikea one stop further on the T2 line from the Porte des Alpes stop on the Bron Campus. http://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/ André Allix University Housing Location: 5eme arrondissement Directions from Lyon2 Quai du Rhone Campus: Take the T1 to Perrache. Walk up the stairs where the buses are located and take either Bus 46 or 49. Both will stop right in front of the André Allix Housing Complex. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND! Most students will agree that the university housing is dirty and inconvenient. Most busses STOP going up there around 10pm and they don’t run much later on the weekends. Here is a helpful Blog http://erasmusu.com/en/erasmus-lyon/erasmus-blog/lyonnais-life-residence-andre-allix-getting-around-town-138896 To view the selection of apartments through the university, VISIT: http://www.crous-lyon.fr/html/ One UMKC Student found her private apartment with this website: http://www.salengro-immo.fr/ Suggestion: Start looking for an apartment as soon as you can! Ask UMKC’s French professors, email students who have studied abroad in Lyon before, and get in contact with the International Office at Lyon2. Transportation around Lyon YOUR OPTIONS: www.tcl.fr This website tells you 1. TCL: You can purchase a transportation card at a student rate which lines to take and how often they run. (about 28 Euros per month) allowing you to take the Bus, Metro, Click Me Déplacer and and Tram. You can buy the card at the TCL office in then Toutes les Lignes. the Bellecour Metro station, Perrache Train Station at the main Part-Dieu Train Station. ** Make sure to bring proof that you are enrolled at Lyon2 (ask the DRI to print off your proof of enrollment), photo id, and a picture that you would like to have on the card. Suggestion: There are photo booths around the city, but it is much cheaper if you print off a several 2’’by 2’’ headshots before you leave for Lyon. 2. Velo’v: This is a great way to get around the city on bike without having to buy one. There are stations all across Lyon and even though it is sometimes hard to find an open station to park your bike, it is a great way to see the city and enjoy an alternative method of transportation we don’t use too often in the States! It is also extremely convenient once public transportation stops running at night. It’s the thing I miss the most. If you have purchased the TCL card, it is only an additional 15 euros for an annual activation fee. **You CAN’T use American debit/credit cards at the actual stations; you must apply on the website below. Your Velo’v account will be activated on you TCL card and then you will use your TCL card to pull bikes out with a password. http://www.velov.grandlyon.com/ ** You can also look into purchasing your own bike on leboncoin.fr. It’s like the French craigslist! Insurance UMKC requires all students studying abroad to enroll and pay for health insurance with HTH Worldwide Health Insurance Plan.

  • Low-Res-Fourvière and Lyon Booklet-4 Print Ready
    2015 2016 Fourvière Our Lady of Fourvière and Lyon Our Lady of Fourvière and Lyon Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.” He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Elle a été aménagée au début du XVIIe siècle. Cette place, symbole de l'Ancien Régime, a été détruite à la Révolution. C'est le seul exemple en France de la destruction d'une place publique. C'est Napoléon Bonaparte qui redynamisa la ville en lançant un projet de reconstruction des façades. Les 2 pavillons de l'Office du Tourisme datent du milieu du XIXe siècle. Tout au long de la visite, vous découvrirez les places qui ponctuent l'espace urbain que représente le secteur entre Bellecour et les Terreaux. Longitude/Latitude : 4.832959/45.757165 02 - Immeuble de l'Hôtel Royal - A l'angle de la place et au croisement avec la rue de la Charité, l'immeuble à rotonde est l'Hôtel Royal qui a été conçu par Léon Delaroche. Il s'appelait à l'origine Hôtel de Bellecour. Observez l'angle traité en rotonde. Longitude/Latitude : 4.833171/45.756423 03 - Place Antonin Poncet - Face à vous, à l'Est, la place Antonin Poncet qui prolonge la place Bellecour. Elle doit son nom au chirurgien lyonnais Antonin Poncet (1849-1913) qui exerçait à l'Hôtel Dieu. Le clocher est celui de l'ancien hôpital de la Charité construit en 1622 et détruit en 1934 pour permettre la construction de l'Hôtel des Postes, au Sud de la place, édifié sur les plans de l'architecte Roux-Spitz.

Take the tarmac path crossing the square diagonally to get to Rue de la République. Rue de la République Shopping lovers will appreciate the big-name stores along this street. Most shops are accessible, with no steps at the entrance. For the store Fnac, there is an accessible entrance on Rue Bellecordière, which runs parallel to Rue de la République on the right. Turn left onto Rue des Archers and go straight ahead to Place des Célestins. Place des Célestins Cross the pavement and take the lowered ramp on the opposite pavement in order to get onto the square in front of Théâtre des Célestins.

Jahrhundert«. Suburbs have mostly received attention in recent years as social hot spots. An examination of the history of urban planning and expansion reveals a fundamental paradox, for it became apparent very early on that living space does not lend itself so readily to plan- ning. Although the rise of suburbs is usually associated with the nineteenth century, a few "early bloomers" can be identified in urban history. Architects such as Antoine-Michel Perrache and Jean-Antoine Morand, who designed ex- pansion projects in the south and in the east of the city of Lyon, became veri- table city planners, if not choreographers, of the suburbs.

  • Guided Tour of Bellecour to Les Terreaux - (C) 2014 Patrimoine-Lyon.Org
    GUIDED TOUR OF BELLECOUR TO LES TERREAUX - (C) 2014 PATRIMOINE-LYON.ORG 01 - Place Bellecour - You are beside the Tourist Office of Grand Lyon, in the famous Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe (6 hectares). It was constructed in the early seventeenth century. This square, symbol of the “Old regime” was destroyed during the Revolution. This is the only example in France of the destruction of a public square. It was Napoleon Bonaparte who rejuvenated the city with his project to construct facades. The two pavilions of the Tourist Office date from the mid-nineteenth century. Throughout the tour you will discover places that feature between Bellecour and Les Terreaux. Longitude/latitude: 4.832959/45.757165 02 - Immeuble de l'Hôtel Royal - At the corner of the square and at the junction with Rue de la Charité, the rotunda building is the Royal Hotel which was designed by Léon Delaroche. It was originally called Hôtel de Bellecour. Admire the angle treated as a rotunda. Longitude/latitude: 4.833171/45.756423 03 - Place Antonin Poncet - Facing you, east, is the Antonin Poncet square which is an extension of the Place Bellecour. It owes its name to the Lyon surgeon Antonin Poncet (1849-1913) who worked at the Hôtel-Dieu. The bell tower is from the old Charity Hospital which was built in 1622 and destroyed in 1934 for the construction of the Post Office, south of the square, and built to the plans of the architect Roux-Spitz. The Charity Hospital was the second most important hospital in the city after the Hôtel-Dieu and only the tower was preserved.

  • Fetedeslumieres.Lyon.Fr
    5 ~ 8 déc 2014 | lyo n | fetedeslumieres.lyon.fr Route 1: Dazzle on the Presqu’île Are you able to visit for just one evening? Plunge into a whirlwind of displays at Tête d’Or Park in the heart of the Presqu’île district and discover over twenty key Festival of Lights installations. Projections, light objects, live shows and interactive works will ensure an unforgettable evening! SOME ADVICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE: For cozy comfort at the Festival of Lights: as you can well imagine, it’s cold in winter in Lyon, and you’ll often have to stand in place. To cope with possible bad weather and cover lots of kilometers, forget about being a fashion plate: put on your earmuffs, parka, mittens and gloves and, above all, trade your high-heels for a pair of all-terrain boots! For a Festival of Lights without stress: prefer Sunday, December 7, and Monday, December 8, for an easier flow, especially if your children are with you on this excursion. For a traditional Festival of Lights: if you are a resident of Lyon, put candles in the windows of your home, your workplace and your school on Monday, December 8, to perpetuate this Lyon tradition. Remember : that this route may be crowded. If you have young children, avoid taking them along on Friday and Saturday evenings. During the entire Festival, leave your stroller at home and choose a baby backpack instead. Please feel free to pass on this advice to everyone who will be accompanying you on your exploration. To reach the point of departure, take Metro Line A to the Foch/Masséna stop or the C1/C4/C5 bus to the Parc de la Tête d’Or - Churchill stop.
