Le Poizat was once a small town (called a commune) located in the Ain department in eastern France. Think of a commune like a local government area or a small municipality.
On January 1, 2016, Le Poizat joined with another nearby commune called Lalleyriat. Together, they formed a new, larger commune named Le Poizat-Lalleyriat. This means Le Poizat no longer exists as a separate commune.
