Geography

Located at the edge of the the Rhone and bordered at the East by the tooth of the cat, Mountain impossible to circumvent in this country. The city is a little with the variation of the Rhone upstream of escarpées throats (throats of Balme)

History

For some, Yenne would be the Etanna antique mentioned on the Table of Peutinger, a station road and harbor on the antique sees which, coming from Aoste (Isere), gained Seyssel (Haute-Savoie), went up left bank of the Rhone, then borrowed southern bank of the Lac Léman to join the Valais. For others it would be rather about Tin, a hamlet located 6 km more at north in direction of Culoz, where the remainders of a Roman villa with mosaic were put at the day in 1939. However, if one sticks to the distance indicated by the Roman chart, that is to say XXI miles (31 km) between Etanna and Condate (Seyssel), it would thus act well of Yenne.

With the hamlet of Landrecin, it was found in 1972 the remainders of a sanctuary going back to -73 with two furnace bridges.
