Évian-les-Bains

Évian-les-Bains (; lit. 'Évian-the-Baths'; Arpitan: Èvian, Évyan, or L'Èvian), or simply Évian, is a commune in Eastern France, by the Swiss border. It is located in the northern part of the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

An upmarket holiday resort and spa town on the shores of Lake Geneva (French: Lac Léman), it has been visited, over two centuries, by royalty such as Kings Edward VII and George V of the United Kingdom and King Farouk of Egypt, and celebrities such as Countess Anna de Noailles and Marcel Proust.

In international relations, it is the namesake of the 1962 Évian Accords, which ended the Algerian War, and its Hôtel Royal hosted the 29th G8 summit in 2003 and 52nd G7 summit in 2026.
