Dukes, elephants and secret passages

Once upon a time, there was a town at the foot of the mountains, the proud capital of the Dukes of Savoy. Today, the castle opens its doors to you (without a royal password) and the Elephant Fountain stands proudly at the crossroads of curious glances. Cathedral, alleys, museums: Chambéry can be visited like an open book, with a few cleverly hidden chapters. A real adventure novel to read as you walk.

Chapels lost in the meadows, hamlets frozen in time, gourmet markets and small, heart-warming addresses: our villages welcome you as if you were at home, with the added bonus of idyllic scenery. Perfect for those who like to combine culture, nature and a good Tome des Bauges cheese.
