the Jura Mountains and Lake Geneva. It is situated in the Pays de Gex, about 8 km (5.0 mi) from Gex to the southwest, from which the area takes its name. Divonne-les-Bains is about 20 km (12 mi) from Geneva to the south and 10 km (6.2 mi) from Nyon to the northeast. Since 2012, Divonne-les-Bains has formed part of a wider agglomeration known as the Grand Genève (Greater Geneva). A short way above the town are several springs, which were exploited in the 19th century to provide spa facilities for which Divonne-les-Bains became renowned. The golf course was built in the 1930s. Many of its present-day amenities (casino, hippodrome, open air swimming pool, as well as the Lac de Divonne, an artificial lake) were built after 1945. The Casino de Divonne was opened in 1954. A cultural centre by the lake (L'Esplanade du Lac) was completed in 2005.
Divonne-les-Bains used to host a small chamber music festival every summer, centred on its tiny theatre and the Domaine de Divonne. The Château of Divonne, now a luxury hotel, suffered a serious fire in January 2017; it is currently being rebuilt. There is a lively market on Sundays and a succession of cultural and sporting events throughout the year. Every year, the town hosts a folk festival in the beginning of July at the hippodrome called Les Vaches Folks.
