Chambéry proudly holds the title of being the largest city of the Savoie department in southeastern France and rests at the foot of the French Alps. It's calculated that 59,172 people reside in Chambéry and surrounds, with the city being 523 kilometers away from Paris and 214 kilometers from Turin. This connectivity, along with its position as a historical centre, makes Chambéry a prominent railway and highway crossroads.

Dating back to the 13th century, Chambéry reigned as the historic capital of the Savoy region, and its association to the House of Savoy is monumental. Landmarks echoing this connection include the Château de Chambéry, which was the seat of power, and the Fontaine des Éléphants, built to commemorate the daring ventures of Benoît de Boigne in India. Chambéry also proudly homes the Cistercian Abbey of Hautecombe, a royal burial place, and the prestigious Savoy Mont Blanc University.

Chambéry is not just about history and stunning landscapes; it's a lively city teeming with cultural richness. Be it the delectable Chambéry vermouth, spirited sports teams, or an efficient bus system called the Synchro Bus - Chambéry is a city that knows how to live. This vibrant blend of history, culture, and modern convenience has earned Chambéry the title of 'Alpine Town of the Year' in 2006 for sustainable development.

When to visit Chambery

For experiencing Chambery in the most preferable weather conditions, planning a visit between May and October is recommended. July, August, and June are the warmest months, with mid-July offering a pleasant climate, balancing a high around 28.4°C and a low of about 14.4°C.

If you are someone who enjoys cooler times and lesser precipitation, October and September are excellent choices. Consider April if you prefer less humid conditions or December if a more damp atmosphere is to your liking. Despite being a tad windy, February, March, and December are beautiful times to visit.

One should note that February, followed by January and July, are the busiest in terms of tourism. This may seem contrast to the common belief that spring and autumn offer moderate tourism, but with the city's moderate climate and rich attractions, Chambéry remains a favourite regardless of the season.
