Thil is a commune in eastern France. It is administratively part of the Ain department and the larger region of Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes.

Geography and environment
Thil occupies a small area of rural landscape typical of the eastern French lowlands: a mix of cultivated fields, pastures and patches of woodland. The local climate is temperate with seasonal variation, supporting agriculture and village life. The commune sits within commuting distance of larger towns in the department and benefits from regional road links and public services provided at department and region level (departmental resources).
History and administration
Records and local tradition indicate that the settlement now called Thil has existed for many centuries as a rural village; its built fabric usually includes a central church, farmhouses and a mairie. As a French commune it forms the lowest tier of public administration, represented in intercommunal structures and subject to the laws and policies of the department and region.
Economy, services and daily life
The economy of Thil is primarily local and rural: small‑scale farming, artisan enterprises and services for residents. Daily life centers on communal amenities, village events and nearby market towns. Residents commonly rely on schools, health care and larger commercial centres elsewhere in Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes and France (national services).
