Security Considerations in Lyon
On the Presqu’île, luxury houses, jewelers and international brands line pedestrian streets that are very busy on Saturdays and during the sales. Officers must balance a deterrent presence with attentive service, manage crowds at peak times and coordinate store openings and closings with deliveries, which are often limited to strict time windows in the city center.
Part-Dieu combines office towers, a high-speed rail station and one of the largest urban shopping centers in France. Office buildings there receive a constant flow of visitors and contractors, which makes reception, visitor registration and badge management essential. Trade shows at Eurexpo and conventions at the Cité Internationale also bring foreign delegations who expect to be welcomed in English.
In early December, the Festival of Lights (Fête des Lumières) draws very large crowds over several evenings to the Presqu’île and Vieux Lyon, with extensive traffic restrictions. Boutiques and hotels in the city center must then adjust their hours, staffing and access, particularly for evening reliefs and receiving merchandise.

Common Questions
Can the Program Cover Both a Boutique on the Presqu’île and an Office Building in Part-Dieu?
Yes. Each site has its own Post Orders, adapted to its activity, while McCray sets common standards for presentation, supervision and reporting. The feasibility of each site is confirmed before the proposal is issued.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
