Ferney-Voltaire is a commune in eastern France, located in the Ain department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, near the Swiss border and Geneva.

The town is primarily known for its historical connection to the French philosopher and writer Voltaire, who lived there from 1758 to 1778. During his residence, Voltaire transformed the town, then known simply as Ferney, into a prosperous community and cultural center. He built the Château de Voltaire, which remains one of the town's primary cultural landmarks. The town adopted its current name, Ferney-Voltaire, in 1878 to honor its famous resident.

Today, the town continues to embrace its cultural heritage while serving as a residential area for many who work in nearby Geneva. The presence of Voltaire's château and its associated cultural activities make it a noteworthy destination for those interested in French literary history and 18th-century architecture.
