location
Meyrieux-Trouet is located at 562 m , about 14 kilometers northwest of the prefecture of Chambéry and 74 kilometers east of the city of Lyon (as the crow flies).

Neighboring municipalities of Meyrieux-Trouet are Saint-Paul in the north, Le Bourget-du-Lac in the east, Verthemex in the south, Saint-Pierre-d'Alvey in the southwest and La Chapelle-Saint-Martin in the west.
topography
The area of the 11.05 km 2 municipality covers a section of the southern French Jura on the west side of an anticline that extends west of the Lac du Bourget in a north-south direction. The summit ridge of these anticlines forms the eastern boundary of the municipality in the area of Mont du Chat , where the highest point of Meyrieux-Trouet is reached at 1480 m . At the foot of its steep, wooded western slope begins a plain, with a slight relief, over which the various hamlet settlements of Meyrieux-Trouet are spread. A small stream, the Flon , drains the municipal area north to the Rhone.
Community structure
In addition to the actual town center, Meyrieux-Trouet also includes several hamlet settlements and farmsteads, including:
- Trouet and Cremaire ( 610 m ) next to each other at the foot of Mont du Chat
- le Risolet ( 500 m ) north of the village center
- le Villaret ( 575 m ) south of the village center
- Méthenod ( 487 m ) on the other side of the Flon
history
The community of Meyrieux-Trouet goes back to the two originally independent parishes of Meyrieux and Trouet, which were merged between 1795 and 1803 after the French Revolution . Both were first mentioned in the 14th century: Trouet as parrocchia de Trevoy and Meyrieux as Mariacum , whose name probably goes back to the proper name Marius. Today's hamlet Le Villaret was the seat of a small manor with a permanent house in the Middle Ages .
Attractions
The village church of Meyrieux-Trouet was built in the 19th century. A hiking trail leads to the summit chain of Mont du Chat .
