Thoiry, Administrative commune in Ain, France

Thoiry sits at the foot of the Jura Mountains, 10 kilometers from Geneva, with forests covering more than one-third of its territory.

The commune gained diplomatic recognition in 1926 when French and German ministers signed a reconciliation agreement within its boundaries.

The Saint-Maurice Church, established in the 7th century, stands as a central religious monument in the heart of Thoiry.

The town hall provides administrative services from Monday to Friday, offering civil status documents and biometric passport pre-applications.

The Reculet Cross, installed at 1,717 meters altitude in 1892, was constructed using basic human resources without modern machinery.
