Lyon, France – 12 November 2026 – Mileway, Europe’s leading last-mile logistics real estate company, has supported Réseau Le Saint, a major fresh food distributor in France, in expanding its operations in the Lyon region. Réseau Le Saint commenced operations in June 2026 at a 9,250 sqm logistics property comprising warehouse and office space in Corbas, following an extensive programme of works to adapt the building to its operational requirements.
The opening of the Corbas facility marks a strategic milestone in Réseau Le Saint’s growth and strengthens its national footprint. Lyon’s position as France’s third largest urban area and a major logistics hub, at the intersection of key national and European transport routes, makes it a natural location for its expansion. As France’s leading independent fresh food distributor serving foodservice and grocery retail professionals, Réseau Le Saint relies on an efficient logistics network to provide fast and reliable deliveries across the country.
To meet Réseau Le Saint’s specific requirements, Mileway oversaw a comprehensive transformation programme, including additional improvements developed in collaboration with the customer. The works increased the number of dock doors equipped with levellers to eleven, created a dedicated loading bay for light commercial vehicles and smaller trucks, and provided a dedicated HGV parking area and improved vehicle circulation on site. An existing stormwater retention basin was also relocated underground to facilitate vehicle movements across the site.
The property is strategically located close to the A46, A7 and A43 motorways, with direct access to public transport links, and is less than 20 km from both central Lyon and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport.
“This expansion into the Lyon region marks an important milestone for Réseau Le Saint. Corbas offers the ideal combination of location, connectivity and operational capability. Working closely with Mileway’s team, we have adapted the building to our specific requirements and created a main regional distribution centre that is ideally positioned to support fast, reliable deliveries and our continued growth,” said Richard Charrier, Technical and Real Estate Director at Réseau Le Saint.
“Logistics real estate needs to evolve alongside our customers’ requirements. In Corbas, we worked closely with Réseau Le Saint to transform the building and create a space tailored to its operational needs. This project demonstrates our ability to draw on our real estate and technical expertise to support our customers’ long-term growth,” said Margaux Nataf, Country Director France at Mileway.
