Écully, Administrative commune in Lyon Metropolitan Area, France
Écully is a municipality in the Lyon Metropolitan Area in the Rhône region with extensive residential neighborhoods and green spaces. The locality spreads across several kilometers and combines urban and natural areas.
The locality was long the main settlement of its own canton until restructuring in 2015, when it became part of the larger Lyon Metropolitan Area. This change unified several surrounding municipalities under a new administrative structure.
The municipality is known for its renowned cooking schools and culinary education institutions that have trained chefs for generations. This tradition shapes local life and makes the place an important center for French gastronomy.
The locality has access to public transportation that connects directly to Lyon's center and allows easy travel throughout the region. Visitors will find basic services and facilities like police stations readily accessible throughout the municipality.
The place maintains a balanced relationship between built-up areas and natural green spaces, setting it apart from typical residential suburbs. This equilibrium makes it a quieter residential area while still being close to the energy of the larger city.
