Opting for a hotel in Irigny places you just outside France's major metropolitan centre of Lyon. The city, an ideal hideaway close to Lyon's business centre, is rich with history. Inhabited since the Bronze age, it flourished during the Roman period, as it was situated on a Roman road.
The town of Irigny is a picturesque French town, characterised by winding streets and ivy-covered stone buildings. Irigny is best known to business travellers as a serene contrast to the rapid pace of Lyon. Characteristic of its charming community atmosphere, Irigny takes part in France's annual 'Cities and Villages in Bloom' celebration, during which the town is festooned in a swathe of vibrant and scented flowers. Come to Irigny for tranquillity within a commutable distance of Lyon.
Champvillard Cultural Centre is a well-appointed space for meetings, conferences, seminars, and exhibitions. For a larger business centre, head down the road to Lyon, where there are two excellent business schools – Emlyon and Lyon International Business School. The local Economic Development Agency rates Lyon as the number one French city for executives, and the fifteenth most attractive for foreign investment. Undoubtedly, this rating is due to its superb infrastructure and buoyant economy. A '**Smart City**', Lyon is known as a hub for innovation, with six hundred laboratories and several life science and green technology businesses. It hosts conventions regularly, which can be easily accessed from your Irigny hotel.
Guests at an Irigny hotel can explore its three castles: Château de La Combe, Château de la Damette, and Château d'Irigny, which dates from the thirteenth century and was built by Archbishop Renaud II. Fort Champvillard is one of several unusual structures in the area. The asymmetrical trapezoid-shaped building, which dates back to the nineteenth century, housed 170 soldiers in wartime. La Chapelle d'Yvours is also worth seeing. It is an unusually small chapel, just seven by four metres, of unknown origin. On Wednesday and Sunday mornings, the town has a superb biweekly food market, where you can buy locally produced goods. Champvillard Cultural Centre hosts many of the region’s various events, which include visual art exhibitions and dance, theatre, storytelling, and classical music performances.
