The old centre is a confusion of alleys and dim passageways, ruled by the Château from which the Dukes of Savoy commanded a large tranche of central Europe. The architecture, art and food all tell you that Chambéry was as much Italian as French, as the city was only annexed by France in 1871. https://www.chambery-tourisme.com/?lang=en
