Welcome to Chambéry

Chambéry lies in southeastern France within the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, where the limestone massifs of the Bauges, the foothills of the Chartreuse and the broad corridor of the Leysse river shape the tone of a peaceful holiday in Chambéry; beneath the city stretch Jurassic limestone beds, marl layers and alluvial fans formed by centuries of mountain runoff; lake terraces, old agricultural clearings and traces of medieval trade routes alternate across the surrounding valleys; travellers choosing a B&B in Chambéry often begin near the Château des Ducs de Savoie, where historic façades overlook the city’s intricate street network; the A43 motorway links the town with Lyon while the railway line connects it with Annecy and Turin; staying in a villa in Chambéry brings visitors close to viewpoints toward Lac du Bourget, wooded slopes and the high ridges of the Bauges; the surroundings invite lakefront walks, cycling routes through valley floors and gentle climbs toward the passes leading to the Chartreuse; anyone seeking a holiday home in Chambéry discovers a landscape where geology, alpine heritage and centuries of regional craftsmanship blend into a coherent whole.
