Located in the Ain, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the commune of Montréal-la-Cluse is nestled in the Haut Bugey, only about forty kilometers from Bourg-en-Bresse. It takes place in the heart of the Jura massif, not far from Nantua, Brion and Oyonnax.
Originally a grouping of several hamlets of which La Cluse was the main one, Montréal-la-Cluse was in the 19th century a major railway and road junction. Occupied since the Middle Ages, the town which has changed its name several times over the centuries now attracts visitors with the charm of its landscapes, its dynamism and its proximity to some of the most beautiful natural sites in the area.
