Built around the Oignin River, Maillat grew into a rural commune in Haut-Bugey, part of the southern Jura in eastern France. The settlement lies in the wooded, limestone terrain of the Ain department, near the Oignin valley and the routes between the Rhône basin and the Jura. Its atmosphere is quieter than nearby Oyonnax, an industrial centre long associated with France’s plastics industry. Forested slopes, farms and scattered hamlets define this corner of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, while Lake Nantua lies close by in the Jura foothills.
