The Treaty of Paris of August 15, 1749 regulated border adjustments between France and Geneva . Geneva grew, among other things, the places Chancy and Avully .

After the war between Savoy and France, the area around Avully, Chancy and Aire-la-Ville fell to France through the treaties of Lyon in 1601 . The King of France thereby had control of the left bank of the Rhone in this area. The majority of the inhabitants of Avully were Protestant, which is why in 1604 King Henry IV Avully wanted to leave Geneva. But the Burgundy Parliament in Dijon refused to approve the threatened loss of territory due to the royal donation.

In the decades that followed, the residents of Avully complained frequently to the king, their sovereign, about the taxes that French collectors had wrongly demanded. The quarrels should now be resolved in the year 1749 with the treaty through an exchange of territory with the territory of the Gex from the world.
