Chavornay was a small area, known as a commune, located in eastern France. It was part of the Ain department. Think of a commune as a local town or village area, and a department as a larger region, similar to a county.

On January 1, 2019, Chavornay joined with another commune to form a new, larger commune called Arvière-en-Valromey. This means Chavornay no longer exists as a separate commune on its own.
