- Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.
Lyon Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional but innovative. Values both industrial heritage and world-class gastronomy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; the lunch break is strictly for dining and networking. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the best for reaching senior leaders. Business culture is formal and values long-term personal trust.
