Most Kenyans seem to be living in Lyon.
If you want to explore France and its culture, meet French people and learn their beautiful language, or have a cool city break with plenty of sightseeing, there is no better place to visit than Lyon. Most Kenyans don’t regret living in Lyon over the capital city Paris .
Why am I so sure about this? There are plenty of reasons but here are my top 4 reasons why I think Lyon is better than Paris for most Kenyans living there.
When most people think of France, they immediately think of Paris, but that’s not the only city that should be on international citizens’ radars.
Here are some of the reasons I think Lyon is better than Paris for most Kenyans living there.
Lyon feels like a small town, while still having all of the benefits of a big city.
- It’s cheap to live in for kenyans
it’s not a popular tourist spot (compared to Paris and other cities in the area), so it’s an excellent place to live if you want to feel like a local. It boasts a warm and sunny climate and offers a slower pace of life than many other French cities.
2. Lyon has friendly French people
Whoever Kenyan that visits lyon is very welcomed by Lyonnaise People, who
are very helpful and talkative
However Paris is diverse and is full of international people and English is
widely spoken. Nonetheless, Paris has equally the same benefit too.
3.Decent transport connections to and from Lyon,and relatively low budget.
4. Lyon is a city of contrasts: old and new
Lyon is beautiful and unique in its own ways so as Paris.
Opinions will differ on which is the best city in France. However, the important thing to note is that France has something to offer everyone as a Kenyan in any city an opportunity rises.
Statistics of Kenyans living in France
As of 2020, over 30,000 Kenyans were estimated to be living in France. The majority in Lyon city then Paris.The number of those emigrating from Kenya to France has doubled as times goes by.
France has also proven investment in the Kenyan youth more so because they are the future here in Kenya and also in France.
France’s focus is to bring more Kenyans to France, to promote the relations between France and Kenya in the various fields, particularly those that touch lives.
