Capital of the Savoie department and historically the seat of the Duchy of Savoy, Chambery sits at the foot of the Alps where the Leysse river meets the broad valley between the Bauges and Chartreuse mountain ranges. About 61,000 people live in the city.
The Chateau des Ducs de Savoie, a medieval fortress expanded over centuries, dominates the old town and now serves as the departmental prefecture. The Sainte-Chapelle within the castle walls once housed the Turin Shroud before its transfer to Turin in 1578.
The Fontaine des Elephants, erected in 1838, honours the Comte de Boigne who made his fortune in India. Four elephant heads support the column in one of the most recognisable monuments in the French Alps. The old town's covered passageways, known as traboules or allees, connect streets through medieval buildings.
Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake entirely within France, lies five kilometres north. Aix-les-Bains, the spa town on the lake's eastern shore, has drawn visitors since Roman times. Hotels in Chambery and the surrounding valley are used for companion meetings. Providers serving the Savoie department are listed in our directory.
