The old town of Chambéry is characterized by a maze of alleys with colorful facades. Their architecture, of Piedmontese inspiration, is often embellished with decorations (trompe-l'oeil, ironwork, sculpture...). Guided tours all year round.

Hiking

Historical capital of the Savoie, Chambéry is a city of history and art that reveals many assets. The old town, admirably restored, invites the walker to discover its mysterious avenues with multiple covered passages, its patrician houses, its facades with trompe-l'oeil paintings, its charming courtyards, its cathedral Saint-François-de-Sales the trompe-l'oeil l'Oeil paintings, to discover its castle, former residence of the Counts and Dukes of Savoie, its pedestrian streets and its famous Fountain of the Elephants.
