Cluses

Cluses occupies the Arve valley in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France, where Alpine slopes close around a long-established route between Geneva and Chamonix. The River Arve runs through the town, linking it to the wider Mont Blanc valley. Cluses is closely identified with horology and décolletage, the precision bar-turning industry that grew from local watchmaking skills and remains a major part of its economy. The Musée de l’Horlogerie et du Décolletage traces that industrial story, from finely made timepieces to technical components. Its compact centre provides a practical base for exploring the Haute-Savoie valleys, while rail and road routes keep the town connected to larger Alpine centres.
