A central position on the North-South trade scheme
First industrial hub between Paris and Lyon and main urban district in Saône-et-Loire, the Grand Chalon is strategically located 2 hours from Paris, 1 hour from Lyon and 4 hours from Marseille.
Burgundy is a crossroads for all transit flows between the French and European economic poles. It is also the most convenient place in France to set up if you are willing to interact with countries around the Mediterranean on a regular basis.
Thanks to this strategic location, which ensures all companies an access to 156 millions of customers within 1 one day, the Grand Chalon has earned its place as Burgundy’s second economic pole.
At the interface of the RCEA and the A 39, A 36, A 31 and A6 highways, the Grand Chalon keeps on investing to help all companies reach their objectives and customers faster.
