On behalf of the local organising committee hosts, I would like to personally welcome you in Lyon to the annual EUROSPINE meeting 2014. Lyon is a historic city designated as a UNESCO world heritage site. Enjoy the rich history of the town including the tradition of silk-weaving and also find out why Lyon is considered the"birthplace"of cinema. Of course you will enjoy the « French cuisine» and wine in this gastronomic city. It will be an unforgettable experience. I would like to thank the organising committee for its help to give a personal French touch to this European Spine meeting.
