| Sumario: | Following the repression unleashed after the coups d'état in the Southern Cone, Latin American exile became massive in the 1970s and 1980s. Through archival research and interviews, the article identifies the particularities of the inscription of this transnational phenomenon in the metropolis of Lyon, analysing the interactions, configurations and articulations of Argentinean and Chilean exiles with local actors that took place in this specific French context. The central hypothesis is that the small scale and decentralised location of the project gave broad visibility to the Latin American issue and fostered a close involvement of the local population in a context conducive to international solidarity. The paper examines the trajectories of some of the key militants in this network, identifying a variety of drifts, ranging from the continuity of cultural action in Lyon to the return to their country to resume the project cut short by the coup, and including new searches in the face of disenchantment with politics.
