French city known for its universities (4)

I believe the answer is:

lyon

(Other definitions for lyon that I've seen before include "River port, capital of the Rhone department" , "City where the Saone joins the Rhone" , "French city on the Rhone" , "City of south-central France" , "Southern French city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
