Geography

Saint-Genis-Pouilly is composed of two market towns (Saint-Genis and Pouilly) and two hamlets (Pregnin and Flies). Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. The two market towns have both continued to expand and now practically merge together into one, however the two hamlets still remain separate from each other and from the two towns. The altitude of the commune varies from 419 m (at the extreme south of the commune, to the confluence of the rivers Allandon and Nant de l'Ecra) at 502 m (at the extreme north of the commune, in the village of Flies). The commune is situated at the limit between the plain and the first rising of the Jura. As indicated on the map opposite, the communes surrounding Saint-Genis-Pouilly are: Thoiry, Sergy, Crozet, Chevry, Prévessin-Moëns and Dardagny (Swiss). Thoiry is a commune in the department of Ain in eastern France. Sergy is a commune in the department of Ain in eastern France. Crozet is a commune in the department of Ain in eastern France. Chevry is the name or part of the name of several communes in France: Chevry, in the Ain département Prévessin-Moëns is a commune in the department of Ain in eastern France. Dardagny is a municipality of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland.

Hydrology

Many water courses traverse or border Saint-Genis-Pouilly: Lion, Allandon, Nant de l'Ecra, Bief de la Janvoin, Ouaf, Grand Journans and Petit Journans. In 2005 and 2006, these water courses were subject to a ban on water extraction as a result of the drought. In 2004, only the Allandon and the Lion would have been restricted. [2] The depth of the Allandon is measured at Saint-Genis-Pouilly by a network HYDRO station which transmits these readings by telephone. [3]

Climate

The meteorological station situated at Geneva International Airport, Cointrin, furnishes measurements of the weather relevant to Saint-Genis-Pouilly. This station is situated only 6. 5 km from the centre of the commune and at a similar altitude (420m). [4] Data from this station is available in real time from MétéoSuisse.

Saint-Genis-Pouilly, like the whole of the Pays de Gex and the Canton of Geneva, knows the touch of the Joran, the cold wind which descends towards Lac Léman from the high Jura, where it sometimes provokes a storm. Lake Geneva or Lake Léman (Lac Léman Léman Lac de Genève is the second largest freshwater Lake in Central Europe in terms of surface area (after

Natural risks

According to a study [5] made in 2002, commissioned by the Department of Agriculture and the Forests of Ain, Saint-Genis-Pouilly is classed in a zone at risk from flooding. According to another official publication,[6] the commune is classed in a zone at risk from torrential downpours and rapid flooding. However, according to the list of major risks [7] to Saint-Genis-Pouilly published on the portal of the website of the Ministry of Ecology, “Prevention of major risks”, the commune is classed in a zone at risk from overcrowding from man’s activities. These three different qualifications of risk cannot be explained.

Along with the other communes in the canton of Gex, Saint-Genis-Pouilly is classed in seismic zone Ib, which is to say that the seismic risk is low. [8] A new classification is being prepared by the Ministry of Ecology,[9] but it does not seem that this will significantly change the classification of the communes in the Pays de Gex.

Nature zones

That part of the Allandon valley which is found within the territory of the commune constitutes a natural zone with interesting ecology, fauna and flora (ZNIEFF type I). [10]

The commune is lightly wooded (the area occupied by trees is between 10 and 20%[11]).

History

It was in 1887 that the actual name, Saint-Genis-Pouilly, first appeared on the State civil registers. Year 1887 ( MDCCCLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Previously, Saint-Genis-Pouilly was called Pouilly-Saint-Genis. Before that, the two towns were separately identified. The spelling Saint-Genix had been quite frequently used. Pouilly was a little Roman city which probably took its name from the Latin Appolliacum.

In his historical Atlas, G. Debombourg placed Pulliacum in the epoque of the second reign of the Bourgogne (879-1032) and he placed the church of Pouilly-St-Genis on the religious maps. Events By Place Europe Pope John VIII recognizes the Dukedom of Croatia as an independent state [12] In these "Preuves" he cites a text of 993 which mentions Pulliacum. Events By Topic Religion July 4 — Saint Ulrich of Augsburg is canonized [13]

A diary of 1698 mentions a certain Balthazard as a noble of Prengin, in the Pays de Gex (perhaps this is the name given during this epoque to the current hamlet of Pregnin). Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. Between 1601 and 1789 mention is made of the Baronnie of Saint-Genist. Year 1789 ( MDCCLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common [14]

Names of the area with a Gallo-Romanic origin, Polliacum, Pulliacum, derived, with the suffix -acum from the root name Paulius or Pollius[15].

It is probable that under the Roman occupation the church in the village was to be dedicated to Apollon.

Towards the end of this time, Saint Genis took on a greater importance. Its takeover of the Postes Royales (next to the current chapel) commenced the growth of the town and Pouilly-Saint-Genix became Saint-Genis-Pouilly.

Pregnin figures in the Procès-verbaux du Directoire[16]. Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. The name of Saint-Genis, as in the case of Saint-Genis-Laval, probably comes from Saint-Genest, a Roman comedian from the second half of the IIIe century, martryed under Dioclétien. Saint-Genis-Laval is a Town and commune of the Rhône department of central-eastern France. [17]

Roman period

The Roman colony Colonia Iulia Equestris founded by Julius Caesar between 50 et 45 BC extended as far as Thoiry and included the territory which was to become Saint-Genis-Pouilly.

The villa of Pouilly had been occupied by a rich family, as evidenced by the jewelry found there. [18]

The place called les châtelets, situated to the north of Pregnin took its name, without doubt, from the presence in the 2nd century of a small fort situated on the Roman road running along the Jura. Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. [19]

Middle Ages

A priory was established at Pouilly at the end of the 10th century. [20]

In 1301, Uldric, the Seigneur of Saint-Genis renewed his allegiance to the Dauphin. [21]

18th century

The map of ancient Geneva by Cassini, with the measurements taken by Calon de Felcourt between 1759 and 1761, shows the town of Pouilly, the hamlets of Pregnin and Flies, and also the windmill at St Genis can be identified. Year 1759 ( MDCCLIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year Year 1761 ( MDCCLXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. The road from Lyon to Geneva and the fork towards Gex are also clearly visible. These roads, easily identifiable by the route they trace through the Pays de Gex, still exist today.

Notable events

A few (albeit rather rare) events in the history of the commune :

Today

It was the extension within France of CERN (European organisation for nuclear research), in the middle of the sixties, which made Saint-Genis-Pouilly the little town “coquette”[27] that it is today. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire known as CERN It is also thanks to the presence of CERN that the local economy has considerably increased and diversified.

Coat of Arms

Until recently, the commune used an azure coat of arms with three gold towers. Today, the commune uses exclusively a modern logo which figures prominently on the pages of its Web site and in its publications.

Demography

The population of Saint-Genis-Pouilly has grown rapidly since the middle of the 1960s, largely due to the activities of CERN:

Year  1936   1946   1954   1962   1968   1975   1982   1990   1999   2001   2003   2004 
Municipal Population[28] 639 612 647 904 2,030 3,549 4,631 5,696 6,383 6,704 6,985 7,237

Population History of Saint-Genis-Pouilly since 1936
Population History of Saint-Genis-Pouilly since 1936

Note: On its web site the municipality of Saint-Genis-Pouilly indicates the number of inhabitants as 8,683 and the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industry [35] gives the number as 7,380 in 2005, but it does not seem possible to retrieve these figures from the official journal published by INSEE.

One of the consequences of this rapid expansion of the population (along with those of the neighbouring communes in France and Switzerland) is the rapid increase in house prices. For example, the price per square metre of an apartment in the Pays de Gex increased by 59% between 2000 and 2004, according to INSEE. [36]

An international population

In addition to CERN, the proximity of Switzerland and the international organisations headquartered in Geneva explains why a significant proportion of the population of the commune are foreigners. According to the census taken by INSEE in 1999, the commune contained amongst its 6,383 inhabitants 1,697 foreigners [37] (making 26. 6%). By way of comparison, the département of Ain contains, at the time of the recent census, amongst its 515,478 inhabitants 40,903 foreigners[38] (making 7. 9%).

Housing

Most housing in Saint-Genis-Pouilly is in apartment blocks (67. 8%) and individual houses (31. 3%). [39] The apartment blocks are concentrated in the town of Saint-Genis.

The commune has a significantly larger proportion of individual residences to apartment blocks than the other communes in the district: More than two-thirds (67. 8%) of Saint-genésiens live in apartment blocks, less than one Gessien in two (46. 5%) live in apartments. [40]

The majority of the population in the Pays de Gex, Ain, the Rhône-Alpes region, and mainland France are owner-occupiers of their homes. In Saint-Genis-Pouilly, by contrast, the majority of the population live in rented accommodation (only 43. 6% of individual residences are owner-occupied). Within the Pays de Gex, only Ferney-Voltaire has a lower proportion of owner occupiers (33. 5%). [41] It is possible that this peculiarity is explained by the large number of employees living in the two communities who work for international organisations. (The last 3 paras need review).

Administration

Elections

The commune is presently administered by M. H. Bertrand and his team. The results of the second round of the municipal elections on 18 March 2001 was as follows:

Party Head of party Votes  % Seats
Un avenir pour tous H. Bertrand 859 48,67 22
En avant M. Hayotte 689 39,04 6
Unis pour réussir M. Mugnier 217 12,29 1

In total, from the 3,023 registered electors, there were 1,807 votes cast and 1,765 votes counted. [42]

Municipal budget

The commune expended in 2005 a total revenue spend of € 6. 64 million and a total capital investment of € 4. 06 million, however these figures have increased to € 7. 96 million (revenue) and € 3. 69 million (capital). It has therefore reached an overall positive result of € 0. 96 million this year. At 31 December 2005, Saint-Genis-Pouilly was indebted to the amount of only € 2. 12 million, being € 288 per inhabitant (the communes of between 5,000 and 10,000 inhabitants — (la strate) — had an average debt of € 935 per inhabitant). Whereas the receipts from the “taxe professionnelle” have been weak: € 0. 53 million (equivalent to € 72 per inhabitant against the average of the (strate) of € 211 per inhabitant).

Note: The numbers given above are extracted from the collective accounts for 2005 published by the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industry[43].

National referenda

For the referendum on the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe, on the 29 May 2005, 1,865 of the 3,089 electors who voted and the 1,838 (suffrages) expressed on this occasion which were reported in the following manner: 1,087 Yes (59. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. 14%) and 751 No (40. 86%).

Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) 85%) and 588 No (33. 15%).

The inhabitants of Saint-Genis-Pouilly are therefor more europhile than the rest of the French population who rejected the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe, and approved by only a slim majority (51. 04%) the Treaty of Maastricht.

Note: Unless indicated otherwise, the results presented above are taken from the Ministry of the Interior.

Cultural life

Heritage

The church of Saint Pierre at Pouilly (porch and choir from the 13th century) is without doubt the most well know element of religious architecture in the commune. The church is Roman, except for the choir which is Gothic.

Church of Saint Pierre at Pouilly
Church of Saint Pierre at Pouilly

Some ruins from the small fortified château (from 13th century) are still visible in Flies. Gallo-roman sepulchres and others from the 6th-8th centuries can still be found in the cemetery surrounding the church at Pouilly.

Science

CERN brings to the community an opening on to the world of physics which is perhaps unique in the world. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire known as CERN Conferences are very frequently organised and some of these are open to the public. It is possible to visit the exhibition centre at CERN and also, with a prior appointment, to make a half day visit to CERN itself.

Theatre

The construction of the Théâtre du Bordeau has finished and the theatre is now open. This modern theatre offers a 250 seat auditorium for use by amateur dramatic groups, dance, music and other dramatic arts.

Sculpture and related subjects

Pregn'Art is a annual weekend event in the course of which several local artists exhibit their work in the gardens of the inhabitants of the hamlet of Pregnin. Pregnin is a hamlet administratively part of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly commune in the Ain département, France. It is one of the events dedicated to sculpture and related subjects.

Traditions and folklore

The principal fete of the commune is the Bird Festival “La fête de l'oiseau”, which takes place this year (2008) from 30 May until 2nd June.

Economic Life

Since the creation of the Technoparc, Saint-Genis-Pouilly has become the centre of economic activity in the Pays de Gex.

Free trade zone

Saint-Genis-Pouilly benefits, as do all the other communes in the Pays de Gex, from the specific laws implementing the free trade zone. Under this arrangement, merchandise imported or exported to and from the European Union is not subject to customs duty. If this law has known important changes in the past,[46] it seems to have stabilised today.

Unemployment

According to the annual employment survey carried out by INSEE[47] in 2004, the unemployment rate in the commune is 7. 9% (compared to 7. 4% in 1999).

Town twinning

Since 2006 Saint-Genis-Pouilly has been twinned with Mogliano Veneto (Italy).
