Sojoourn

Sojoourn’s mission is to facilitate the arrival and integration of expatriates and their spouses in Lyon by offering the most fun and enriching Welcome Experience. We help them get settled and accompany them from their arrival and throughout their stay with events and services that meet their needs.

An innovative concept that offers personalized support and proximity for a successful integration both professionally and personally.

We also organize, once a month, the ApéroExpats. An event that aims to bring together our community, foreigners but also French back from abroad. It is also the occasion to make them discover a new address “Lyonnaise”.

Today, we are proud to see that our community is growing, 1000 members are already part of it.
