From the moment the bailiwick of Gex was annexed to France in 1601 the region went through a time of long-lasting peace and prosperity. The more extensive high mountain pastures due to the new boom in cattle raising and the spread from the Swiss Jura of the technique for making gruyere cheese were to contribute to the development of the cheese dairies.
