Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré

Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒwaʁ pʁijœʁe]; Arpitan: Sè Zhouère) is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France.

The main part of the municipality is situated in the Cluse de Chambéry, the glacial valley which separates the Bauges and the Chartreuse Mountains.

In addition to the village center on the valley floor, Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré also includes the hamlet of La Boisserette (440 m; 1,440 ft) in a flute in the foothills of the Bauges.

The first documented reference to a settlement in what is now Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré can be traced to around 1100 CE, under the Latin name Ecclesia Sancti Georgii (French: Paroisse de Saint-Georges; 'Parish of Saint George').

[5] The priory was one of the first to be integrated into the Sainte Maison de Thonon in 1599, an instrument of counter-reformation in the Chablais created by Pope Clement VIII.
