Built in 1993 by the Paccard foundry, the carillon of the Château des Ducs de Savoie, with its 70 bells, is one of the 8 largest carillons in the world. Its homogeneous timbre and innovative carbon-fiber mechanism give it a personality and richness of sound unique in the world, which you'll have the privilege of studying up close, since access to the carillon is usually strictly reserved for the carillonneur.

Housed in the château's Yolande Tower, France's largest carillon is adjacent to the Sainte-Chapelle, a flamboyant Gothic building that will be revealed to you from the château's courtyard.
Admire the stunning trompe-l'œil paintings adorning the vaults, as well as the remarkable 16th-century stained glass windows.
Duration: 2 hours

Reservation required
Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the tour begins.
Backpacks, suitcases and strollers are strictly forbidden inside the château and its museum.
Thank you for your understanding.
