Joyeux is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.

Geography

Joyeux lies less than 5 km (3.1 mi) from the wildlife park at Villars-les-Dombes and 40 km (25 mi) from Lyon in the natural region of the Dombes, a wide extent of middle and upper Pleistocene moraine left near the margin of the Alpine ice sheets. The commune includes some thirty lakes which together represent some 4 square kilometres of water. The land between them is of gravel, sand and clay.

History

The fief of Joyeux was mentioned in the twelfth century. In the fifteenth century, it was in the possession of the Villars family.

On 13 February 2006, a wild duck was found dead on the fen. It was the first attested case of the presence of the bird flu virus H5N1 in France.

gollark: You can stop the space pirates by politely asking them to go away, via the `Writer` monad.

gollark: However, if your spacesuit is eaten by bees, you can use the `Applicative` function `pure`, a dependency (available via `npm install applicative-pure`) to summon a new one from the burrito shop (they make spacesuits).

gollark: This is of course part of the monad, similarly to how a group is strictly some set and an operation on it.

gollark: Anyway, the burrito is kind of like a spacesuit containing apples, with a box which converts them to oranges.
