Experts' Choice Award Chateau des Ducs de Savoie
What the experts agree on
This imposing 14th-century castle, Chambéry's showstopper, once ruled by Savoy's dukes and now housing regional government, features one of Europe's largest carillons—a musical bell tower that sets it apart from typical medieval fortresses.
“This forbidding medieval castle, once home to the counts and dukes of Savoy, now houses the Préfecture and Conseil Général of the Savoie département.”
