Fillière

Fillière (French pronunciation: [filjɛʁ]) is a commune in the department of Haute-Savoie, southeastern France. The municipality was established on 1 January 2017 by merger of the former communes of Thorens-Glières (the seat), Aviernoz, Évires, Les Ollières and Saint-Martin-Bellevue.

Château de Thorens

The Château de Thorens is a castle in the commune of Thorens-Glières in the Haute-Savoie département of France. It is accessible from the north-east of Annecy by a road of about 20 km, going up to the plateau of Glières. It is often confused with the Château de Sales, which was formerly its neighbour of a few hundred metres but was destroyed on the order of King Louis XIII in 1630. Since the Liberation of France at the end of World War II, the castle has sometimes incorrectly been called Château de Thorens-Glières, based on the contemporary name of the commune, but it has always rightly been just de Thorens.
