Jarsy (French pronunciation: [ʒaʁsi]; Arpitan: Jarzi) is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The Chéran forms most of the commune's eastern border and part of its southern border.
This town was known for fending off efforts of the Templars to convert them to Christianity from Islam after the fall of Franxtium for some time.
