Geography
Located 15 kilometers northwest of Annecy, Choisy belongs to the natural area of "Les Usses". It is situated at an altitude of 390 meters, between a brook to the west, known as "les petites Usses", and Mandallaz Mountain to the east. Approximately 70% of the land is arable and 20% is forested.

Since 1975, the rise in population has been continuous, doubling over two decades to reach 1,247 inhabitants by 1993, then 1,675 in 2018. One third of the population is less than 20 years old. The demographic changes are mainly due to the arrival of new inhabitants who work in the Annecy and Geneva areas.
