Ain Zip code

Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes is an area in eastern France. Ain is a department in Auvergne. Named after the Ain river, it is bordered by the rivers Saone and Rhone. Ain is on the country's east side, near the Swiss border. It is next to the cantons of Geneva and Vaud. In 2016, it had 638,425 people. Ain is made up of four different areas (Bresse, Dombes, Bugey, and Pays de Gex), each of which has a big impact on the department's economic growth. The most important things to do in agriculture in Bresse are to grow cereals, raise cattle and make milk and cheese, as well as raise chickens and ducks. In Dombes, pisciculture is becoming more important, and winemaking is becoming more important in Bugey. This is because Ain is the first French department, which is used for postal and demographic reasons, so it has the department number 01, which is the first one in alphabetical order. People who live in Ain live near Jura to the north, the Saone and the Loire River to the east, the Rhone River to the southwest, Isere to the south, Savoie, and the Swiss Alps to the east.
