Cran-Grevier is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
Cran-Gevrier is in the east of Annecy. Part of the town is on a hill (hill of Gevrier). The hamlet of Cran was on the level of the Thiou river. The top of the hill of Gevrier is designated as a natural area.
The Fier forms most of the commune's north-western border.
The city draws its origins from two hamlets: Cran and Gevrier. There are two possible origins for each one of these names:
The Romans were the first to settle on the hill. A Roman villa and a theatre were built there.
