Reignier-Esery

Reignier-Esery is a commune in Haute-Savoie located between the Arve River valley and the slopes of Mont Salève. The settlement consists of several villages dispersed across rolling terrain, with a mix of farmland, forests, and residential areas that reflect the traditional Alpine-valley pattern.

The region was inhabited during Roman times under names such as Regniacum before Christian influences spread through the area. Medieval lordships later ruled the territory, and remnants of their fortifications still stand as silent witnesses to that feudal period.

The municipality hosts regular art exhibitions throughout the year and maintains a network of 70 local associations organizing community events and activities.

This area is easily accessible by car, sitting just minutes from the A40 motorway interchange for connections to surrounding regions. The Léman Express rail service connects directly to Geneva, making the location convenient for both day trips and extended visits.

Two castle ruins stand quietly near the church in Esery, marking what was once an independent lordship in the Middle Ages. Few visitors realize these modest remains reveal a distinct political history that shaped the region's development in ways still visible today.
