The Chaise (French pronunciation: [ʃɛz] ), also known as the Monthoux,[1] is a 23.8 km long mountain river of eastern France. It flows through the departments Savoie and Haute-Savoie.[2] It is a right tributary of the Arly which it joins in Ugine where, in the mid nineteenth century, it was crossed by a wooden bridge.[1]
