Thoiry, Administrative commune in Ain, France
Thoiry is a commune positioned at the base of the Jura Mountains, situated approximately 10 kilometers from Geneva. Extensive forests cover more than one-third of the territory, shaping the local landscape.
The commune gained diplomatic recognition in 1926 when French and German ministers signed a reconciliation agreement within its territory. This event marked an important moment for peace-building in post-war Europe.
The Saint-Maurice Church at the town center reflects religious roots reaching back to the 7th century. It remains a focal point where locals gather for spiritual life.
The town hall provides administrative services Monday through Friday, handling civil status documents and biometric passport pre-applications. Visitors should verify opening hours beforehand to ensure they arrive at the right time.
The Reculet Cross was erected in 1892 at 1,717 meters elevation using only manual labor and no modern machinery. This stone monument stands as testimony to the determination of early workers in harsh mountain terrain.
