   SAINT EXUPÉRY AIRPORT

Saint Exupéry Airport is the only airport in Lyon. It is
located in the east of the city, 25km away from Lyon. It
offers domestic and international flights.

The airport website: https://www.lyonaeroports.com

A train line connects the airport to the city, called
“Rhonexpress”. Tickets can be bought online. It is cheaper
if you book tickets in advance:
https://www.rhonexpress.fr or directly at the station.

Once you’ve taken the Rhonexpress from the airport, you
arrive at the central railway station: Gare Part Dieu.

From Part-Dieu railway station, check the website foo

2. BEING MOBILE
PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Lyon owns a very large public transport service called TCL. It consists
in 4 metro lines, 6 tram lines and many buses.

To use public transports, you either have to buy tickets or get a
weekly, monthly or annual transport card. Tickets are available at
metro and tram station but you can directly buy them on the bus
(more expensive).

Concerning the TCL transport card, you have to reach an office to get
it with:

    -   Your ID card
    -   An ID picture (not compulsory)
    -   €5
    -   An education certificate or health insurance certificate

For further information, here is the website: www.tcl.fr

On this website, you can also find an itinerary very easily thanks to the
simulator. You just have to enter your departure and arrival.

BANK ACCOUNT
As a non-French student, it is possible to open a bank account in France.

However, you therefore have to provide an address in France. To sum up, you need an accommodation to
open a French account.

To open a bank account in France, a copy of the following documents is requested:

   -   Attestation of enrollment in a French higher education institution (or a French student card)
   -   Accommodation proof (contract etc)
   -   ID card or passport (front and back)
   -   VISA (for the non-European students)

  Some French Banks …

*The CNSMDL has a special agreement with the Société Générale Vaise, very close to the conservatoire. Their VISA card is free, and they
apply no bank account management fees. But there is no obligation to choose this bank.
