Description

Strolling through the old town of Taninges means discovering a wealth of architectural heritage (16th–19th centuries) centered around the market square: a fountain, old townhouses, arcades, a chapel, and an old bridge over the Foron River.
Taninges, located at the intersection of the Annemasse–Sixt and Cluses–Thonon roads and at the confluence of the Giffre and Foron rivers, has experienced intense commercial growth over the centuries. The town, which was once located in the hamlet of Flérier, moved and developed around the market square, whose layout has remained unchanged since 1730. Places to visit: the Sainte-Anne Chapel, the townhouses, the old humpback bridge, the banks of the Foron, and the Saint Jean-Baptiste Church.
