CHAMBÉRY, FRANCEChambery is an attractive and lively town in the Savoie department of the Rhone Alps, about 50 kilometres north of Grenoble.The city has a long history linked with that of nearby Italy, and the Dukes of Savoy and Chambery only became a permanent part of France in 1861.In recent years Chambery has had something of a revival and has been tidied up and important institutions such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts have re-opened. It is now bright and colourful and a really pleasant place to spent some time. It also has one of the most inhabited town centres in France - add to that a student population of about 11 000 students and Chambery has a nice lively atmosphere for most of the year.The city has a lot of other squares and streets of interest. From the Place Saint Leger you can explore the many alleys that radiate in all directions, eventually reaching the elegant Rue Croix d’Or where you can admire some ancient aristocratic houses, some of which date back to the 16th century. One of these roads is also named after Boigne and contains many elegant shops.Throughout the narrow streets of the old town you will see numerous small architectural features of interest such as ornate doorways and wrought iron balconies.
