La Roche-sur-Foron

Tucked along the Foron River in the Alpine foothills of Haute-Savoie, La Roche-sur-Foron is a place whose character is shaped by its position between the Arve valley and the Bornes massif. Its compact historic centre climbs a rocky spur, where narrow lanes, arcades and old houses recall the town’s role as a medieval administrative centre of Faucigny. The Tour des Comtes de Genève and the Collegiate Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste remain clear markers of that past. Close to Geneva and Annecy, La Roche-sur-Foron nevertheless keeps a distinctly local rhythm around its squares and market life. Beyond the town, settled valley land soon gives way to farms and mountain terrain. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Haute-Savoie and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
