Val de Chaise
Val de Chaise sits along the Chaise River in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, where a narrow Alpine valley meets densely wooded slopes. The commune was created in 2016 through the merger of Marlens and Cons-Sainte-Colombe, bringing two former communes under one local authority. This rural part of the northern French Alps is shaped by the close relationship between homes on the valley floor and the steep, forested terrain above them. The Chaise provides a natural thread through the community, whose setting feels distinctly removed from the larger resort centres of the wider Alpine region.

Val de Chaise is best known in Haute-Savoie for its creation in 2016 through the merger of the former communes of Marlens and Cons-Sainte-Colombe. The commune lies in the valley of the Chaise, a tributary of the Eau Morte, whose waters continue towards Lake Annecy. Set in the northern French Alps, it remains a small-scale rural community between wooded slopes and cultivated valley land. Its two historic village centres reflect the places that came together to form the present commune.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
