    The historic centre of Chambery dates from the 15th and 16th centuries onwards. One curiosity you will see is the Fountain of the Elephants - built around 1838 in honor of Benoit Leborgne, Earl of Boigne (1751 -1830) on his return from India, after a wandering life in the service of an Indian prince. The fountain is arranged such that the four elep...

    Chambery castle is an important building (the 'Castle of the Dukes of Savoy') and was sold by its owner (Berlion, Lord of Chambéry) to the Counts of Savoy in 1232. It remained the residence of the Savoy Counts until 1562. The castle is now home to the council offices but you can join a guided visit to see inside. Its chapel, the Sainte Chapelle, us...

    The gothic style 13th century Cathedral Church of the Franciscan Friars of "Saint Francois de Sales" has a rather austere facade but is home to the largest collection of trompe-l'oeil paintings in Europe. The highlight in the cathedral is the treasury which includes a 12th century Byzantine diptych among its interesting artefacts, and there is also...

    No visit to an important French town would be complete without a stroll through one of the city's parks, and there are several in Chambery. One of the most popular on a hot day is to walk in the shade beneath the trees in the Parc du Clos Savoiroux, while the Jardin du Verney is the oldest park in the town and also has plenty of space to sit down i...

    At Les Charmettes a couple of miles south of Chambéry town centre (on the Chemin des Charmettes) is the house where Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) lived with the Baroness de Warens (1700-1762), a beautiful building and gardens dating from the 17th century. They also had a home on the Place Saint Leger. For naturalists, the surroundings of Chambé...

    • Old Town. A functioning university town and not just an outdoor museum, the compact core of Chambéry is most people’s idea of the perfect old town. It’s not very large, but you could wander for hours without feeling like you’ve quite seen it all.
    • Place Saint-Léger. Despite its name, Place Saint-Léger is more of a long street than a city square, and is Chambéry’s main pedestrian thoroughfare. Along its length the street opens out to large areas with restaurant and cafe seating, then tapering to just a few metres across, and is paved all along with pink granite.
    • Fontaine des Éléphants. On many postcards and possibly Chambéry’s main identifier, the Fontaine des Éléphants dates to 1838 and is listed as a French historical monument.
    • Chambéry Cathedral. Although quite small the city’s cathedral still has much to recommend it. Most noticeable is the interior which has some 6,000 square metres of extravagant Italian trompe l’oeil painting, the largest ensemble in Europe and composed in stages in the 1800s.
    • Ville Ancienne. Chambéry's medieval Old Town reveals its beauty gradually. Rush through its lanes and you risk missing hidden courtyards, murals and well-preserved 14th-…
    • Cathédrale St-François de Sales. All is not as it seems inside Chambéry's 15th-century Franciscan cathedral, decorated with 6000 sq metres of trompe l’œil painting.
    • Château des Ducs de Savoie. Medieval walls, Gothic tracery, trompe l'oeil detailing…Chambéry's château has acquired a wealth of styles since its founding in the 11th century.
    • Fontaine des Éléphants. With its four carved elephants, this 17.6m-high fountain looks like the model for an old Indian postage stamp. It was sculpted in 1838 in honour of…
