Ambilly

Ambilly is a residential commune in Haute-Savoie, situated directly along the Swiss border in southeastern France. It consists of mixed housing areas, local shops, parks, and public spaces that form the everyday fabric of the community.

Ambilly developed from an agricultural settlement into a residential community through gradual urban growth during the 20th century. This transformation paralleled the broader modernization of the Haute-Savoie region.

The population of Ambilly participates in regular markets and local fairs that combine French traditions with Swiss influences due to its border location.

The commune has regular bus and train connections to Geneva and nearby Annemasse with frequent daytime service. Walking and cycling are practical options given the flat terrain and local pathways that make getting around straightforward.

The geographic position of Ambilly creates a cross-border living experience where residents regularly interact with both French and Swiss communities.
