The part of the town across the Rhône is also named Seyssel but located in the Haute-Savoie department, and is locally referred as Seyssel-Savoie. It is a rare case in France of two homonymous communes adjacent to each other, similar to the situation of the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, divided between the communes of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont (Isère) and Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont (Savoie).
