Looking for greenery, peace and beauty?

In Chambéry Montagnes, the parks and gardens offer a gentle respite between nature and heritage. French-style gardens, wild groves, conservatory orchards or long avenues lined with hundred-year-old trees… these places invite you to slow down, observe and stroll. You’ll find the freshness of an undergrowth, the charm of a lake or the surprise of a sculpture. Some tell the story of the town, others celebrate biodiversity or the Alpine landscape. Ideal for a picnic, a contemplative stroll or family time, this plant heritage is an integral part of the Savoyard art of living.

Parks and gardens

An area shaped by history, visible at every step.

This heritage can also be seen in the sculpted facades, religious buildings, statues, squares, castles and evidence of everyday life in days gone by. The House of Savoy, great literary and scientific figures, builders and craftsmen have all left powerful and inspiring imprints. Architecture tells stories, stones whisper, details captivate. Some tours are done in silence, others with a passionate guide, but all offer the same promise: a plunge into a living, generous and accessible past.

Meetings at the farm A taste of the countryside... and unforgettable encounters.

In Chambéry Montagnes, farms are an integral part of the region’s landscape and identity. From the valleys to the mountain pastures, farmers welcome young and old alike to share their daily lives of passion, transmission and nature. Cows, goats, chickens, pigs or rabbits… here, animals can be approached, stroked and observed. Farm produce can be tasted on the spot, often still warm from milking or fresh from the oven. These visits are a real breath of authenticity, simple, real and rooted in Savoyard life.

A cultural bath life-size!
