The Metropolitan Council of Lyon () is the deliberative assembly of the Metropolis of Lyon, a French territorial collectivity with special status, made up of 150 metropolitan councillors.
Since 2026, its president has been Véronique Sarselli of The Republicans (LR).
History Created on 1 January 2015, the Metropolis of Lyon replaced the Urban Community of Lyon and, in its territory, the Rhône department. It exercises both the competencies of a department and those of a metropolitan area.
Since 2020, the city council, comprising 150 members (instead of the 166 originally planned in the ministerial ordinance before its review in parliament), is elected at the same time as the municipal councils by direct universal suffrage within the framework of 14 electoral constituencies according to the voting method applicable to municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants.
Headquarters The headquarters of the Metropolis of Lyon is the same as that of the former Urban Community of Lyon: the building at 20 Rue du Lac in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, in the district of La Part-Dieu.
Executive The Metropolitan Council was re-elected on 28 June 2020 and elected a new president, Bruno Bernard (EELV).
The Metropolitan Council is made up of a president and 23 vice presidents, which form the executive: List of vice-presidents of the Lyon Metropolitan CouncilOrderNamePartyDelegation1stEmeline BaumeEELVEconomy, employment, commerce, digital and public procurement2ndBeatrice VessillerEELVTown planning and living environment3rdRenaud PayreGauche unie – Manufacture de la citéHousing, social housing and city politics4thMichele PicardPCFFight against discrimination and gender equality5thJean-Charles KohlhaasEELVTravel, intermodality and urban logistics6thHélène GeoffroyPSEquality of territories7thCedric Van StyvendaelPSCulture8thLucie VacherEELVChildhood, family and youth9thBertrand ArtignyEELVFinance10thZemorda KhelifiEELVHuman resources11thPierre AthanazEELVEnvironment, animal protection and risk prevention12thVeronique MoreiraEELVEducation and colleges13thFabien BagnonEELVRoads and active mobility14thAnne GrosperrinEELVWater and sanitation15thJeremy CamusEELVAgriculture, food and regional resilience16thSeverine HémainEELVIntegration policies17thJean-Michel LonguevalPSHigher education and research18thLaurence BoffetLyon en communParticipation and citizen initiatives19thPascal BlanchardEELVHealth, the elderly and people with disabilities20thIsabelle PetiotEELVWaste reduction and treatment and cleanliness21stPhilippe Guelpa-BonaroEELVClimate, energy and reduction of advertising22ndHelene DromainEELVEuropean and international cooperation and tourism23rdYves Ben ItahEELVAssociative life and sports policies
