Stays in Chambéry
Chambéry is the historic capital of Savoy, its ducal château and pedestrian old town set between the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs. Most stays are apartments and small hotels a short walk from the Fontaine des Éléphants, with Lac du Bourget and the Savoy vineyards a short drive away.

Chambéry in numbers
Where you stay in Chambéry mostly comes down to one choice: the pedestrian old town, right beside the Château des Ducs de Savoie and the Fontaine des Éléphants, or a quieter district near Chambéry-Challes-les-Eaux station. The former capital of the Duchy of Savoy sits between the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs, and its accommodation leans heavily towards self-catering apartments, with only a few hotels and a single guest house near the SavoiExpo exhibition centre. It works as a base for the Apremont and Chignin vineyards as well as for winter days on the slopes of the Bauges, about half an hour away by car.
