Thézillieu (pronounced tez-il-yoo) was once a small commune in eastern France. A commune is like a small town or village with its own local government. Thézillieu was located in the Ain department. A department in France is similar to a county or a state.
On January 1, 2019, Thézillieu joined with other nearby communes. It became part of a new, larger commune called Plateau d'Hauteville. This often happens to make local government more efficient.
