Investment volumes are also impressive with more than Laurent Vallas 1.5 billion euros invested in the Lyon commercial real estate market in 2018. JLL Head of JLL Lyon Lyon is also one of the most dynamic European cities in terms of business and leisure tourism. Voted “Europe’s leading City Break Destination” in 2016, Lyon has been incluted in the New York Times’ prestigious annual international selection of “52 Places to Go” in 2019. It is not a surprise that the hotel market has never been so flourishing with more than five million hotel nights sold in 2018. Finally, Lyon remains one of the most sought-after cities in France for the retail market, a trend that has been enhanced by the new openings in the Grolée-Carnot sector and the spectacular conversion of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu (16 000 m² of retail and restaurant space), a vibrant venue for a new kind of retailing with a resolute focus on the growing interest in “shopping as an experience”.

  • Living in France
    Living in France Preparing for your arrival in France September 2016 Living in France The key values of French society and the Republic The key values of French society and the Republic Each year, France receives over 100,000 foreign nationals of third countries of the European Union from all over the world who wish to settle permanently in France. France is a nation with thousands of years of history and a highly rich culture. France is synonymous with fundamental values to which the French are very attached. Values exist in all countries and enable people to live together as a society: some are universal, common to all human beings, others are specific to the culture of a country and are the result of a nation’s shared history. It is all the more important that people of different origins abide by these values so that they unite around shared rules. These values are present in the motto of the French Republic: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. They also include secularism. They correspond to the principles that inform the laws which all individuals must abide by, including French citizens as well as any person living in or visiting France. The laws are adopted by the democratic institutions that are elected by the people. These institutions organise the relationship between the citizens and day-to-day life on the basis of these values and principles. These are not simply abstract concepts: these values have concrete effects on day-to-day life by means of the rights and obligations of citizens and residents. France places great importance on the quality of the welcome given to foreigners who want to settle permanently in its territory.

  • Transportation and Sustainable Development in a Mid-Size French City, Dijon
    International review for spatial planning and sustainable development, Vol.2 No.2 (2014), 52-63 ISSN: 2187-3666 (online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14246/irspsd.2.2_52 Copyright@SPSD Press from 2010, SPSD Press, Kanazawa Transportation and Sustainable Development in a Mid-Size French City, Dijon Yves Boquet1* 1 Professor of Geography, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, France * Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Received 9 October, 2013; Accepted 14 Feberuary 2014 Key words: City Planning, Streetcar, Bicycles, Sustainable Transportation, France, Dijon. Abstract: Capital city of the region of Burgundy, Dijon has embarked into a strategy of eco-development, putting sustainability in the center the public discourse of urban planning. As a mid-size city in France, Dijon appears as a good example of the current trends in city greening around Western Europe. The label of « green city » has become essential in the promotion of urban areas for tourism and job creations, as is shown by the city rankings published in mainstream magazines. City planning, as in other cities of the same size (about 250,000 residents), is run by the Communauté d’agglomération Dijonnaise, « Grand Dijon », with competencies in transportation, housing and land use planning. According to French laws, a greater emphasis is now given to « solidarity » in the governance of urban areas (= social housing in all municipalities, and also to sustainability and « green » urban policies. Dijon, after about 20 other French cities, is rediscovering the virtues of streetcars (tramways), considered as a cleaner way to carry population than automobiles or fossil fuel-powered city buses.
