Cap des Séselets Beach

Highlight • Beach

Cap des Séselets is the recognized spot for snorkeling (mask and tuba) at Lac du Bourget. It is also a superb place to take a break to admire the lake and the surrounding peaks.

Lovely view of Lake Bourget

Highlight • Lake

The golden reedbeds in the foreground, the blue lake, and the mountains in the background... it is a very photogenic panorama that is offered to you on this portion of Lac du Bourget.

The Leysse is a torrential and wild stream which flows from the Bauges massif and which becomes a lowland river from Chambéry to Lake Bourget. The cycle path winds along the watercourse and offers a bucolic setting for a stroll.

Historic centre of Chambéry

Highlight • Settlement

It is a maze of colorful alleys and very nice pedestrian streets, with many small shops selling local products. To see in particular: the fountain of the Elephants, the rue de Boigne, the place Saint-Léger, the rue Basse du Château and the rue Croix d'Or.

Fountain of the Elephants

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1838 on the layout of the Savoy Cross fountain system in honor of the colonial adventurer Benoît de Boigne. He came from Chambéry, made a fortune in India and showed himself very generous to his native city. Not only the 4 elephant torsos of the fountain remind of him, the whole city sees probably in the elephant an identification figure (or a mascot).
