Great spot with lots of places to eat nearby. There was even a carousel for the kids when I was there.

Inaugurated in Dec. 1838, this is a monument to celebrate the General-Comte de Boigne. Look carefully around, the path to the fountain is actually marked by indications on the streets of the old town of Chambery…

3.5🌟 we reckon. On the way back from Annecy to Grenoble, we decided to stop in Chambery. It was still early. We were pleasantly surprised that the town has lots to offer too. We parked near the main square. As usual, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, ice-cream parlours at the square. Decided to stroll further after our evening drinks. We arrived at the fountain. Most fountains in larger towns we have seen are always grand and somewhat of a center piece. This one is no different. The elephants have their backs again the fountain, which is of course a defensive posture. As if to tell everyone, they are protecting the fountain. Walking further, we were greeted by several other monuments within the town. A worthwhile stopover with many sights to see.

Centre of attraction in Chambery. Most famous spot in the city.

Beautiful monument and fountain with 4 elephants, 1 on each side spraying water through their trunks. Surrounded by streets that are pleasant to walk and many stores to do some shopping. It is freely accessible and well lit at night. An iconic symbol of the city created to honour a general.

A hidden gem in France. This is such a picturesque beautiful little town, with narrow streets and lovely restaurants. Slap bang in the middle of the French Alps.

La Fontaine des Éléphants in Chambéry is a true gem. The beauty of the sculpted elephants is simply breathtaking and the attention to detail is amazing. The fountain is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful and serene place to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, and it's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend visiting La Fontaine des Éléphants for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful oasis in Chambéry. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this stunning fountain is not to be missed.

Beautiful sculptures and fountains but the businesses surrounding them are so so... Could do with some landscaping and place making.

A large fountain with elephants on four sides. Water spouts from the trunks so when it's hot, you can have an elephant cool you a bit

There's lot's of beggars and homeless in the vicinity who disturb you by photoshooting. Restaurants around the square are nice, though. With a nice scene for photography.

Such a unique sight seeing at the center if Chambéry. A very beautiful fountain with great history. It’s located at the entrance of the old city of Chambery which is also a unique path to walk since the architecture is so really beautiful.

Not as big as you would expect from a cathedral and when I was there flooded with tour groups. There is some nice stained glass

Visiting with my family here

Chambery is a very nice medieval town. Many buildings stunningly beautiful inside while retaining their original outside.

Very impressive Trompe Oeiul and stained glass windows

In terms of beautiful architecture the space (all) around the cathedral in Chambéry is as beautiful as the inside of the church itself. :)

The inside architecture is beautiful, especially the ceiling. And it's all painted

The different chapels inside could be better lit even at daytime. Much goes unnoticed...

The castle features: a very well preserved interior of the new palace; a very nice view from the mi-rond tower; an interesting exposition with historical maps of the region.

One of the more beautiful place at Chambéry with the castle

Amazing historic heritage. The museum inside is for free. The shown collection is not huge but contains very interesting exhibits about the House of Savoy.

Lovely exhibit of history of the Savoie

Closed more often than open. We could only look at a few artifacts. Impressive structure, though.

Beautiful Monuments...shows the beauty of European's Architecture

The castle is still used today by the government. So it's not much of a tourist attraction. There is a small museum inside with information on the history of Savoie and a large collection of old coins. It is possible to do tours but you need to speak to the tourist information first in the town centre. If you like history it's worth the visit.

Opens at 13.30 on.weekdays, but just a tiny bit. You need to book a guided tour if you want to see the rest, which is nice and worth a visit.

Small regional museum, only a few paintings on one floor for a population of 140.000 (the temporary exhibition was closed in winter). Price is not expensive (3€ for a visit of 1hour) and there is also a restaurant and underground parking.

Very Nice Museum. This is a must to see.

Good café and a phantastic museum

Permanent collection is not huge, but it was nice to take a look at the collection. Ticket that time was 3 EUR only. Great location and very nice "lobby bar", recommend to stay for a drink.

Lots of very fine paintings. All the information is in French.

This please was under renovation when I visited chambery during Oct'19. The museum was not open for public temporarily. There are some important places too see around this museum.

Very interesting collection.

All necessary things are available ....best place to buy things like vegetable fruits bread cheese and etc

Nice little museum, but a bit too small to justify the entrance fee. The exhibition was a bit crowded and disorganised as well.

Updated for 2023: The whole station build has been rebuilt since my first visit in 2017. Plenty of seating, light and airy. Free toilets inside. Adequately functional, but not entirely pleasant. Not much seating, and few places to eat. No toilets in the station building but portaloos out front.

Easy and quick to transfer at, just a little tricky to find platform 4 since it’s shorter.

The most important. Trains on time

Amazing station, easily accessible by foot from the city center, an excellent bike parking facility is also available. Inside the station you can also find a climbing wall, a piano and ticket offices (as well as ticketing machines).

Not bad station to be honest. But guys, where are marks for voie C? Why you don't put marks of C inside train station building? After that there was no marks of C in tunnel (only in front upstairs there is a marks B C).

What to say? This is a regional train station, it has the Minimum amenities it's comfortable enough for stopovers and provides a convenient place to access the Alps so expect it to be busy during the winter months! You can find quick bites to eat, places to sit and toilets.

Clean and very spacious station. Like every other station in france, it has a Relay shop, a bakery place that serves croissant and coffee, and it has a resting place that has wifi. The staff is very helpful and the trains are mostly on time. However, the area is sometimes not very clean, and smells bad on certain days.

How explain this ? Train from Paris arrives at 7:40pm in Chambéry and train for Bourg-Saint-Maurice leave at 7:35pm ??? You don’t want visitors or tourists in your valley ?

Very nice spot to have some good food. Nice cozy place inside and nice terras outside as well. The salad with beef was outstandingly tasteful. The orange juice wasn't freshly made but came in a small bottle, not to bad though.

Excellent food and really good service. I've been there several times over the past 7 years and I've never been disappointed. I recommend!

We all loved the food and the setting. We all had different dishes and without exception they were all very very good. The service was a bit slow but it was a busy Saturday evening, so we'll let that go because we liked everything else so much! We took our difficult 3 year old and it was great as there is a big courtyard for him to run around whilst we ate and chatted. A rare restaurant experience where we could relax!

Onestly, terrible place. Not only all the fries we had ordered were wiggly but also the service was trash: since we asked for some oil and Tabasco and we waited 15 minutes. Also the ribs were ugly and full of fat and the BBQ sauce was gross.

The staffs are very friendly, the pork ribs are amazing! Good food, good wine!

Friendly atmosphere, generous portions. We enjoyed our time there.

Excellent food and great service.

Very nice spot in Chambery. The fondue was quite good although not my favorite dish in general. Nice appetizers including small grilled fish fillets whose name I forget. Recommended.

Super service! Friendly and polite. Also enjoyed the dinner here, although not geving a 5 star rating, good values for money. Just missing the finishing touch. If you are in the neighbourhood, pay them a visit!

It was quite packed on a weekday, so reservation needed. Food quality is very good for the price but not the best.

Popular spot with 2-course lunch for €20 and 3-course for €24. Decent food. Service was okay. They were very busy.

Best creme brulée I’ve ever heard. A little bit of a wait to get in but it was busy and we were a group of 6 on a Saturday.

Amazing Saturday lunch buzzing after the Saturday market. Great stop on the way to the airport for an evening flight.

Delicious food, relaxed service. We went twice while in Chambéry and enjoyed the experience both times. The mixed charcuterie and cheese board is brilliant, and all the mains were lovely. I have to mention the air conditioning as well - a rare treat in Chambéry during a 42C heatwave!

Restaurant serving French cuisine. Nice and tasty dishes. Large variety of local vines. Some of the staff speak good English and all of them are very friendly.

I was so surprised. The host and his team work very intensive for our pleasure. Each I interaction was with a smile. Good English, explanations, and recommendations about each dish. Excellent and fast and professional service. And food... So much taste, so beautiful and special. We were 6 persons with different views on life and on food - everyone left empty plates. THANKS

I spent wonderful time here with my friends, we had fondue and other local meal here, I miss them.

Great cheese fondue. Large amount even for 2 persons, very tasty . Staff is very helpful, friendly and polite. Think about a reservation, it's very popular. For a Sat. at 8pm they had to refuse few people and couples. Better to make a call earlier.

We spent a very good night at Le Savoyard Restaurant. My wife and I went there for a romantic dinner and we both really enjoyed the ambience, the service and the food! All the waitress that served us were super nice and smiling, the smile these days is very rare so it was really pleasant. The food, well as you can see from my pictures, the presentation was already incredible, bit the taste was even better! All the dishes that we received was super tasty and very well executed. The best part was the dessert, the tartlette caramel-hazelnut!! OMG, how good it was! Make sure to leave some space for it at the end of your meal, it's a MUST!

Good food and service from the waiters. We had to pay for our meal in advance and also any time we were ordering something to drink. This approach did not contribute to a nice atmosphere. Unusual.

I was there one week ago and i ate very good food. I suggest to take their fonduta with mushrooms it was very tasty. I also strongly suggest their cake with Apple and biscuits, I come from Italy and i found a good kitchen here. Advanced

Lovely food well presented with fantastic wine. Staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Decent local fondue experience. Good starter escargot in eclair and tasty desserts.

Very efficient and good service. 16 euros lunch set with 3 courses. Very decent amount of portions at the same time tastes good. Although this economical Price fix lunch has only one option per course they do have other price fix menus to chose from at a higher premium. 2x euros. Would come again for both lunch or dinner.

Really nice lunch, lemon dessert was excellent. We were so happy to find this restaurant.

Unassuming little restaurant which blew my mind away!!! Ask for the soufflé, the best dessert I have had in my life!!! OMG, It gave me goosebumps and more...

At 7:45 PM they told us that they were full. All the tables inside were empty and four tables outside as well were empty. I do not know what that was all about.

Everything was really good. Unforgotable experience.

Great food!!

Excellent

Super

(Translated by Google) We came with friends for a birthday, friendly waitress and fast service. The dishes were delicious, the seasoning was perfect and we were not left hungry. We are all delighted, we will come back! PS: remember to book, the room is small 😊🙏🏻 (Original) Nous sommes venues avec des amies pour un anniversaire, serveuse sympathique et service rapide. Les plats étaient délicieux, l'assaisonnement était parfait et nous ne sommes pas restées sur notre faim. Nous sommes toutes ravies, on reviendra ! PS : pensez à réserver, la salle est petite 😊🙏🏻

This is a lively place. The service and staff were perfect. We decided to take the menu that comes with a starter, a main dish and dessert. The starter (gavlax au saumon) and the desserts (profiterol & mousse chocolat) were excellent. For main dishes we took two faux fillets and two fillet des boeufs. For the faux fillets, the meat could have less grass. This is only one negative thing. Very great place though

It is a 100% YES! Very cozy and nice restaurant🧡! Loved the food and the staff is the friendliest!

Heerlijk gegeten! Goed gebakken entrecote en frites met salade… Uitermate vriendelijke bediening… Een aanrader! (Translated by Google) Delicious food! Well-cooked sirloin steak and fries with salad... Extremely friendly service... Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience at La Côté et l’Arête. We had lunch and dinner and both moments were priceless: staff, food and wine at their best. The dry aged ribeye was probably the best I had in my life topped with 5 sauces and great French fries. We ended the diner with profiteroles (huge and delicious) and the founder of the restaurant Jeremy offered generously the digestifs for our table. I recommend deeply this restaurant and we will come back for sure on our next trip to France!

Good fast food restaurant , missing many details with the food .But overall taste ok !Atmosphere like in busy restaurants in shopping mail , This is not place to enjoy lobster!

Who’d have thought food on an industrial estate could be so good. Fabulous quality, well presented, busy atmosphere, great service

Vreemd dat dit restaurant bij Google zo'n goede beoordeling krijgt. Vreemd is ook dat het ontzettend druk was in het restaurant; alle tafels waren er bezet. In de ogen van het locale publiek blijkbaar een goede eetgelegenheid. Onze ervaring was echter geheel anders. Slecht, veel meer kunnen we er met twee personen niet van maken. Onafhankelijk van elkaar is dat wat wij ervan vonden. De entrecote wordt aangeprezen als The Best. Wij vroegen ons af hoe slecht de rest dan zal zijn.... Nog geen vijf minuten na onze bestelling, twee maal medium gebakken entrecote, werden de borden bezorg. Op beide borden een lauw warm stuk vlees. Net niet meer koud. Het vlees bleek van binnen nog bijna rauw, volledig rood. Niet eens rare laat staan medium. Bij een bord lag een stuk vet, dat ongeveer een derde van het vlees was, keurig verstopt onder de salade. Zo kom je natuurlijk snel aan de beloofde 400 gram entrecote.... De salade was overgoten met een te grote hoeveelheid olie. De frites zagen er onsmakelijk uit, ze waren niet knapperig en warm. En vooral veel te donker. En dat bij beide borden. Het leek erop dat deze borden vooraf klaarstaan onder een warmhoudlamp. Zodat de klanten snel bediend worden. Bij McDonald's kan dit gebeuren, van La Côte et l'Arête hadden we ons echt meer voorgesteld. Voor €26,00. Hoewel de bediening allervriendelijkst was kwam er niemand vragen of alles wel naar wens was. Ja; toen de borden leeg waren. We vertrouwden het niet meer, namen geen dessert en geen koffie. Gaven geen fooi en zijn vertrokken. Jammer. Want de entourage ziet er goed uit en het rauwe vlees in de koeling oogt uitstekend. Blijkbaar lukt het in de keuken dan toch om het helemaal te verprutsen.... Is dit een organisatorische keuze of een eenmalige misser? Zijn we als Nederlanders misschien verwend en gaan de Fransen meer voor de beleving? (Translated by Google) Strange that this restaurant gets such a good rating on Google. It is also strange that it was extremely busy in the restaurant; all tables were occupied. Apparently a good place to eat in the eyes of the local public. However, our experience was completely different. Bad, we can't make much more of it with two people. Independently of each other, that is what we thought of it. The sirloin steak is promoted as The Best. We wondered how bad the rest will be.... Less than five minutes after our order, twice medium fried entrecote, the plates were delivered. A lukewarm piece of meat on both plates. Just not cold anymore. The meat turned out to be almost raw on the inside, completely red. Not even rare let alone medium. Near one plate, a piece of fat, which was about a third of the meat, was neatly hidden under the salad. This way you will of course quickly get the promised 400 grams of sirloin steak.... The salad was drizzled with too much oil. The fries looked unappetizing, they were not crispy and warm. And above all, much too dark. And that on both signs. It seemed that these plates were prepared in advance under a warming lamp. So that customers are served quickly. This can happen at McDonald's, we really expected more from La Côte et l'Arête. For €26.00. Although the service was very friendly, no one came to ask if everything was to your liking. Yes; when the plates were empty. We didn't trust it anymore, didn't have dessert or coffee. Didn't tip and left. Shame. Because the environment looks good and the raw meat in the refrigerator looks excellent. Apparently the kitchen manages to completely mess it up... Is this an organizational choice or a one-off mistake? Are we perhaps spoiled as Dutch people and do the French prefer the experience?

Really very nice restaurant, not that expensive, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic steak. Recommended.

The food and the hospitality were superb. Our server, Theo, is very kind with sincere hospitality. Demi homard was splendid.

We went to the restaurant and after 15 minutes of waiting, we were finally served by an unfriendly man. We told him we wanted to have a drink and something little to eat and, even though more than half of the tables were empty, he told us that if we weren't really going to eat, they wouldn't give us a table. Very nice place but the service was a disaster. We do not recommend it at all.

Meat is great, but you must try their Yuzu dessert, which is better than O*****!

Amazing pizza. Friendly service. Decor inside is welcoming.

Loved this place. Stumbled upon it in a visit to town. - Nice and friendly service, one of the few places around where you can conduct yourself easily in English. - Fantastic menu with a very good variety. Food is delicious and well served. - very good value for money, not cheap but also not as expensive as other places at the same area, especially for the good portions they serve.

Excellent dinner at Entracte - good pizzas, friendly service and good atmosphere

All plates around us are TOTALLY EMPTY, here is so good even you can choose 1/2 of pizza and salads ;)

Very welcoming staff. The pizzas were amazing!

Delicious food, the pizzas are good size and the service is great

The place is really nice and the service is very fast. The cuisine is authentic Italian as expected.

Very nice food. Nice Service. In General a very nice, comfortable restaurant
