We are Americans located in the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region of France by job, by marriage, by birth, by love of things French and for many other reasons. We all share a tug back to the USA and for that reason we organize political and social events around current trends in American life.
Our chapter is the 2nd largest in France, covering as far as Dijon to the north, Valence to the south, Clermont-Ferrand to the west and the Alps to the east.
We regularly hold in person and Zoom events. Recently, we organized Hands Off and No Kings protest events to push back on the policies of the Trump administration.

We were particularly active in the primary and presidential election season, with events to educate our membership on the candidates and the issues. Democrats Abroad Lyon does all we can to help every American in the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes area participate in the vote from abroad process. Perhaps, most important, we provide a forum for liberal and progressive Americans to voice their opinions and support each other in today's fraught political climate.
First Thursdays
First Thursdays are opportunities for DA members to get to know each other, as well as exchanging banter about current events and politics. So, pour yourself your favorite drink and come join us for a couple of hours of informative diversion every month! À votre santé!
Cheers !
You can find our Events and News here on the Democrats Abroad website as well as on our Facebook page.
We would be interested in hearing your ideas. Please feel free to contact us!
