The town of Oyonnax, the second largest in the Ain department, has many assets that add to its charm and influence. With a population of over 22,000, it is located close to the Haut-Jura nature park, as well as the main communication routes linking it to Bourg-en-Bresse, Lyon and Geneva. Its unique geographical position makes it an ideal destination for outdoor sports enthusiasts, thanks to the many forests, lakes and mountains in the surrounding area. Oyonnax is also known for its strong industrial tradition in the eyewear and plastics industries, as well as for its remarkable heritage, as one of the 18 French municipalities to receive medals for the Resistance. Over the years, the town has built up community facilities worthy of a large conurbation, as well as cutting-edge sporting and cultural infrastructures that can accommodate several thousand visitors. Oyonnax is proud to welcome the start of the 3rd stage of the Tour de l’Ain 2023!

Located at the north-eastern tip of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in the department of Ain (01) between Lyon and Geneva, Haut-Bugey Agglomération (HBA) is the public institution for inter-municipal cooperation (EPCI) that brings together the 42 communes of the Oyonnax basin and surrounding area, forming the “Plastics Valley”, with a population of 65,000.
With conurbation status since 1 January 2018, the area now comprises :
– an urban area with a population of 30,000, complemented by welcoming towns and villages dotted around the unspoilt countryside of the mid-mountains or close to exceptional historic and tourist sites.
– Hundreds of innovative small and medium-sized businesses, particularly in the plastics and wood industries.
– outstanding sports, cultural and outdoor leisure facilities.

The Haut-Bugey Agglomération is responsible for economic development and town and country planning, as well as various services of common interest, such as water and sanitation, urban transport, waste management, environmental protection and enhancement, etc.

It is the main public player in the Haut-Bugey region for companies and their economic partners: consular chambers, the plastics and composites industrial technical centre, the Polymeris competitiveness cluster, etc.

Finally, HBA is a strong and proud supporter of major popular events (Oyonnax Rugby, Tour de France, Rallye Ain-Jura, Tour de l’Ain, etc.), which give the region a national and international profile.

Its current Chairman is Michel MOURLEVAT, who will be elected on 6 October 2022.

Located close to the Jura and Switzerland, the Pays de Gex and its Monts Jura resort offer you grandiose landscapes facing the Mont Blanc for a total change of scenery! Immerse yourself in this land of nature and heritage and let yourself be carried away by all kinds of discoveries and varied activities that will make your stay unique and enriching!
