A complete offer for infrastructures

Ideally situated in the heart of Europe, the Rhône-Alpes region is a crossroads where the largest communication and transportation routes meet (by road, air, rail and river).
The motorway network, extended over 1,337 kilometres, is particularly dense and straight connected to the bordering Swiss and Italian networks. It is also directly linked with Paris by the TGV railway lines.
With 6 million passengers per year, more than 70 regular service lines and the establishment of Air France's euro-regional hub, the Lyon-Saint Exupéry International Airport represents a major multi-modal infrastructure in the Rhône-Alpes region (airport,TGV railway station, motorways).
