history

Before 1260, the Counts of Geneva had sovereign rights in Chancy. They then handed them over to the Duchy of Savoy . Since 1536 Chancy has been subject to the city of Geneva and accepted the Reformation.

Chancy was an important transit point on the road from Geneva to Lyon , because this was where you got to the right bank of the Rhone . A ferry took over the transport until 1424. This was then replaced by a bridge. After the bridge was demolished in 1589, ferry operations were resumed at the current location until the bridge was rebuilt in 1874, around three hundred years later.

The Chancy-Pougny run-of-river power station has been located above the bridge and the village since 1924 .
