"Expats in Lyon join a variety of clubs and activities to meet people and acclimate to the region. Popular activities include outdoor sports teams such as running, cycling, and sailing, and organized sports like rugby, basketball and soccer. Language exchange groups are also popular, as many locals are bilingual in English and French, and some meetups are held for those interested in conversing in any foreign language. Expats who would like to get educated about the local culture can also join cooking, painting and photography classes. Other ways for expats to meet people in their new community are joining social media groups, connecting with other expats through shared interests such as health, wellness, music and art, and taking part in volunteer organizations," remarked another expat who made the move to Lyon, France, France.
