Emmanuelle
Meet Emmanuelle, your local contact in Lyon
Hi, I'm Emmanuelle, founder of Sojoourn. I’m French, originally from Toulouse, and I’ve been calling Lyon home for over 10 years.
I created Sojoourn because I know that settling into a new city is about much more than finding an address.
After living abroad myself, I wanted to create the kind of local support I would have loved to have when discovering a new country.
Since 2018, Sojoourn has helped international clients make Lyon feel like home, from finding their first rental to navigating everyday life in France.
Today, I also help clients who are ready to take the next step and buy a home in Lyon.
My role is simple: to give you a trusted local contact who knows the city, understands your project and is genuinely by your side throughout the search.
It melts our hearts to see all the beautiful connections and friendships that were born in our community. We are so happy that we can guide you and help you to settle in Lyon, France. We are here for you from finding your next new home or recommending you great French professors, helping out with administrative tasks or simply showing you the coolest new bars in town.
Feel free to leave us a review here.
