The part of the town across the Rhône is also named Seyssel but located on the western bank of the Rhône in the Ain department. It is a rare case in France of two homonymous communes adjacent to each other, similar to the situation of the village of Saint-Santin, divided between the communes of Saint-Santin (Aveyron) and Saint-Santin-de-Maurs (Cantal).
Geography
The Fier forms most of the commune's southern border, then flows into the Rhone, which forms the commune's western border.

gollark: Oh, and to respond very late to this:> uh... why would you buy those things = it's a pretty generic componentI don't mean why those specific things, I mean why suddenly buy a bunch of solar hardware?
gollark: ***a*** is pretty unambiguously a bold/italicized a, but if you start shoving asterisks mid-word some stuff gets confused.
gollark: I think it's not even unambiguous, given weirdness with having a bunch of `*`s together.
