    Legendary cave where François Ier would have found refuge.

    Hiking

    In 1516, the King came to Chambéry for the Holy Shroud at the beginning of his reign. On the way back, the King and his court were caught in a violent storm… The only protection they found was this shelter under a rock for the night.

    Very nice, to do from the station of aiguebellette le lac. Must make the detour to the belvedere, a magnificent view of the whole lake!
