The Duchy of Savoy then included Faucigny, Bresse, the Duchy of Chablais, the Duchy of Aosta (now in Italy), the Bishop's castle of l'Ile in Geneva, Moudon (now in Switzerland), a great part of the country of Bern (now in Switzerland), Nice and Genevois (Albanais, Annecy and Saint-Julien).
The plebiscite was organized on 22-23 April 1860 and ratified (99.8%) the incorporation of Savoy to France, with preservation of the free zone.
