Chambéry is a common French, prefecture of the Savoy and located in the area the Rhone-Alps. Its inhabitants is Chambériennes and Chambériens. Chambéry is also the historical capital of Savoy.

Geography

Chambéry is located in a plain enclosed between the Massif of the Wallows at the east (dominated by Nivolet on which one finds the Croix of Nivolet), the Massif of Chartreuse in the south (dominated by the Mont Granier), the Chaîne of the Spine in the west with the Dent of the Cat and by the Lac of Le Bourget in north.

The city is bathed by the Leysse, river which constitutes the principal affluent of the lake of Le Bourget.

Nature of the landscapes

The town of Chambéry is a broad valley, delimited of all shares:

in the east, by the Massive of the Wallows;
in the south, by the Mount Granier (Chartreuse) and the Chain of Belledonne;
in the west, by the Chain of the Spine (the southernmost mountain of the the Jura);
in north, by the Lake of Le Bourget.

Before its construction (dating from the Roman epoch), extended on this site vast Marais, from now on drained. The majority of the surface of the city are on a flat ground with some Colline S: Chambéry-the-High , Chantemerle and Chambéry-the-Old man , Bellevue or the Mounts .

The remainder of the landscape is composed of medium mountainss.

Transportation routes

Chambéry is a large European crossroads of the alpine transportation routes.

By roads

Chambéry is crossed north in the south by an Urban Fast track (VRU), N201 (or E712). It begins at the exit from the Autoroute A41 coming from Lyon on the level from the zone from Landiers and Erier. It extends on ten kilometers, before joining the highway A43 in the neighborhoods of Saint-Baldoph, direction Albertville, Grenoble, Turin and Borough-Saint-Maurice. This urban clearway uses the tunnel of the Mounts, built in 1982.

Cycle tracks

It became in a few years very easy and very practical for the cyclists and walkers to cross Chambéry. Each large avenue has its cycle Track between the road and the pavement, and two large which occurred green were installation to connect the downtown area to the site of the university of Savoy and the beach of the Mottets while passing by the Le Bourget-of-Lake ( Avenue green North ) and the towns of Saint-Jeoire-Priory and Myans ( Avenue green South ).

Rail-bound transport

The transalpine Rail link Lyon-Turin will pass by Chambéry. A project of enlarging of the station of Chambéry - Shawls Water is envisaged in the medium term, with in particular a footbridge pedestrian between the districts of the Center and Cassine. The delay of the project “Lyon-Turin” (in particular financing on French behalf of work, until Italy and the European commission wait) shifted the realization of this project.

The station of Chambéry is the seat of the area the SNCF “the Alps” (Isere, Savoy and Haute-Savoie) and is used as deposit with the engines. It also manages the system of alpine Ferroutage Modalohr, which makes it possible to unchoke the valleys of the Heavy truck S starting from Aiton, located to forty kilometers.

Today the station of Chambéry serves:

with the axis Dijon-Modane towns of Paris (station of Lyon) and of Turin, then the Italy;
with the axis Chambéry-Lyon the town of Lyon, and the railway axis Paris-Marseilles;
with the axis “Alpine Furrow”, the towns of Geneva, Annecy, (and via this city, St-Gervais), Aix-the-Baths, Grenoble and Valence.

Public transport

Transport in the bus is ensured by the Service of Transport of the Agglomeration Chambérienne It should be noted that, contrary to other cities, lines of STAC have not for role first to connect different districts within city (except for lines 1 and 2 which serves Chambéry-the-High and the district of the Biollay for the 2), but to form a network in cobweb, to connect the various communes bordering. Line 3 loosens for example the Mound-Servolex and Ravoire, the line 4 Cognin, Barberaz and St-Baldoph etc Nevertheless, all them drunk (safe some, 15,16,17 or 20) serve the Boulevard of the Column , opposite the Eléphants (the great center of correspondence), which implies that all these buses serve the Center-ville anyway.

In addition, voluntarism on the implementation for cleaner public transport, initially with Aquazole, then with the new buses Irisbus functioning with GNV make, since 1995, of Chambéry one of the cities which use this fuel of substitution.

Moreover it is the city having the highest budget of traffic control as well as a powerful policy in favor of accessibility for the handicapped people.

Airport and heliport

The two principal aerodromes of Chambéry are:

Airport of Chambéry - Aix-the-Baths, the principal airport for airliners and of tourism;
Airport of Chambéry - Shawl-the-Water, specialized in the Sailplane S.

History

Etymology

The Romans named Lemencum the relay established in the current district of Lémenc in Chambéry. With the the Middle Ages, the city changed name during the construction of the Château by the Duc S.

Evolution of the name according to the years:

1016: Camefriacum (Cart. Saint-Andrew, Suspends. , n° 44)
1029: Camberiaco
1036: Cambariacum
1044: Cambariaco
about 1100: Chambariaco
1233: Chamberium
1603: Chamberi

The current name would come from the Gaulois camboritos (ford located in a curve), of cambo- , (curve, meander), Indo-European root kam-p- , (to curve), and ritu- , (ford).

The old names indicate rather a domain name of origin Gallo-Roman. Cambariacum , formed with the suffix - acum on the name Cambarius , alternative of Cammarius : field of Cammarius. This name would derive either from Latin cammarus or cambarus , (crayfish) via the Arpitan chambero (according to the abbot Adolphe Gros), or of the name of trade cambarius , (beer brewer), of the Gallic camba , (stove to be brewed). Another assumption of the Gallo-Roman term Camberiacum could suggest the idea of exchange - cambium - or of exchange - camerinum : market - or even of room - camera - where could be tightened the taxes of a toll or the receipts of a local budget.

Heraldic

Blazon of Chambéry: Of mouths to the cross of money confined as a chief with dextral of a gold star.

Current version and version of origin (of the royal family) still visible on some old administrative buildings.

History

The heights of Saint-Saturnin, in Saint-Alban-Leysse, are occupied like fortified town since the Neolithic average (approx. 4000 av. J. - C.) until the Gallic time . This oppidum is the ancestor of the agglomeration of Chambéry. He is extremely probable which he was conquered, with the basin of Chambéry, by the army of Hannibal in 218 av. J. - C., at the time of its crossing of the Alps towards Italy. It would have found in this rich person Gallic area of the vivres and the cattle to nourish itself “during two or three days” according to Polybe. At the time Roman, the inhabitants were installed on the hill of Lémenc, then called Lemencum . Chambéry really does not seem a small city, Camberiaco, that in XIe century. a deed of gift gone back to 1057 attests the existence of a “ burgus” and of a “ castellum” . XIIIe century represents one decisive period, when the count Thomas Ier of Savoy buys it, the March 15th 1232 with the help of: 32000 strong pennies of Suse, with the count Berlion and when the count Amédée IV makes of it the capital of the Duché of Savoy, in 1295. The urban development is then very related to the rise of the Maison of Savoy. A new important enclosure is built as from 1352, under the impulse of the count Vert Amédée VI of Savoy.

The advent of Amédée VIII, first duke of Savoy in 1416, makes of Chambéry the capital of a sovereign state, released of the domination of the Holy roman Empire Romain Germanique. A new nobility chambérienne appears, related to the prestigious institutions that account the city, and is established in beautiful particular houses built around a central court dominated by a high turret of staircase. After the French occupation of François Ier, the duke Emmanuel-Philibert prefers however to him Turin like capital starting from 1563. With its Senate and its Room of the accounts, the city will preserve nevertheless an administrative vocation maintaining to an important population noble families. The period baroque sees to be built important private mansions marked by architecture inhabitant of Turin.

Of 1792 with 1815, during the first fastening of the Savoy to the France, Chambéry is the chief town of the department of the Mont Blanc. At the XIXe century, two great periods of urban development are detached: the first, between 1820 and 1830, is related to the actions bienfaitrices of the general of Boigne and is characterized by a policy of embellishment of the city (monumental street, theater, alignment of the frontages…) ; the second, between 1860 and 1890, opens with the final fastening of Savoy to the France decided at the time of the Traité of Turin, the March 24th 1860 and confirmed by plebiscite the April 22nd. Chambéry then becomes chief town of the department of the Savoy. The city is equipped with utility buildings (market hall, town hall, school, college, museum…).

During first half of the century, the city grows slowly. Its geographical location, its routes transportation and its administrative role contribute to the development of new districts (Station, Verney, district of England). After the Great War, the economic crisis prevails, but the city develops since that it gains ten thousand inhabitants between 1920 and 1939. It is touched hard by the Bombardement of May 26th, 1944, at the time which, the Gare was particularly aimed. One counts 120 dead and more than 300 wounded. Three hundred buildings are destroyed. More than thousand families find themselves without housing. During twenty years, the center of the east city in building site. Large blocks of dwelling replace the old bombarded or set fire to houses. The streets Favre and Saint-Anthony from now on are bordered of massive and austere buildings, sometimes decorated low-reliefs carved by Alfred Janniot.

The years 1950, in spite of the efforts of rebuilding, remain however quite dull. The arrival of the large company of Textile Glass, and the creation of a great industrial park under the municipality of Pierre Dumas will instigate the city, even if industrialization remains modest in comparison with the situation of the city. In 1961, it amalgamates with two communes bordering, Bissy and Chambéry-the-Old man. New districts rise quickly in the years 1965-1975, and in particular a ZUP in Chambéry-the-High under the crook of the architect Prix of Rome Jean Dubuisson.

After the glorious Thirty, the economic crisis involves a pause in the urban development. It is the hour of the cultural equipment which was cruelly lacking in Chambéry: a house of the culture, a center of life in Chambéry-the-High, a center of the congresses, a media library and a city of arts (new academy of music).

Today, Chambéry, city-center of a community of agglomeration exceeding them: 120000 inhabitants, follows a development policy and equipment in bond with the 23 other communes of its agglomeration. In 2008, a big room with multi-field vocation will open (spectacles, sporting events…) thus reinforcing the dynamism of the city. The population increases by approximately 1% per annum.

Culture and Inheritance

Chambéry is classified Ville of Art and History.

Architectural heritage

The Middle Ages and Rebirth

the Château of the Dukes of Savoy is the old residence of the Counts and Ducs of Savoy. It shelters today the prefecture and the general advice. It is a whole of buildings dating from the Moyen-âge at the 20th century. It is composed in particular of three towers built in XIVe and XVe centuries, of medieval dependences and a large body of home of XVIIIe and XIXe centuries built in the place of the old apartments of the counts. In its enclosure the Ste Chapelle (1408-1430) is, which sheltered 1453 with 1578 the Saint-Shroud, before it is transferred to Turin, to follow the change of capital of the States of Savoy. Inside one admires there sumptuous stained glasses of XVIe century, magnificiently restored in 2002. The frontage, carried out at the XVIIe century, is a chief of work baroque of the architect inhabitant of Turin Amedeo di Castellamonte. In the bell-tower (or Yolande turn), the Great chime is installed which sounds its 70 bells harmoniously. Work of the Paccard foundry to Sevrier, it is the fourth greater chime in the world and the first of Europe. A concert takes place the first and third Saturdays of each month to 17:30.
the old city is made up of a great number of old hotels of the Savoyard nobility. At the end of XVe century, the noble families undertook the demolition of the old shacks of wood and cob and built houses in good stones which took later the name “of hotel”, where the host receives his hosts. The residences of XVe and XVIe centuries are numerous, even if their frontages for the majority were redrawn as from the XVIIIe century. Very impressed medieval heritage, the first hotels are organized around a generally closed court in which a turret out-work or of half-out-work is, containing a staircase out of screw. An arc in accodance or handle of basket surmounts the main door. The Italian Rebirth leaves its mark there: galleries or loggias connect the various bodies of building, of the arcades border the court sometimes…

Period baroque

To the advent of the period baroque () of many noble families, like Costa de Beauregard or of Castagnery de Châteauneuf will undertake, in medieval fabric of the city, the construction of private mansions. The reference to Turin, and generally to the Italian art, is quite marked. The intramural situation and the consequent surface of these buildings connect them with the Italian palates. In all the Italian peninsula, the big families built, since the Rebirth, of the palates in the middle of the cities, where the place is rare, from where a square plan on interior court with the even non-existent reduced gardens. A monumental door opens on a passage which leads to the interior court. This passage crosses the building right through, which makes it possible the palate to profit from a double access. The hotels Costa-in-Beauregard or of Morand present this characteristic, like the Carignan palate in Turin, resulting from the models florentins. At the 18th century the interior court of the new hotels disappears: the Chollet-of-Le Bourget hotels, of Rock or Montfalcon offer only one main building. The decoration intensifies on the frontages or in the staircases, with a predilection for elements of French style (grids Louis XV, garlands and ribbons Louis XVI).

The senatorial tradition of Chambéry, inherited since the middle the 16th century, encouraged the noble families to live the winter downtown and the summer in the countryside. The castles or strong houses of the surroundings are modernized and given to the last style, and often transformed into fields of report/ratio. The Château of Caramagne (private property) is one of the more good examples preserved nowadays. To the north of the city, near the new district of Chambéry-the-high and in an environment where the countryside tends to disappear each day a little more, the field of Caramagne gives Italian paces around Chambéry. An imposing entry, surrounded by commun runs in hemicycle, opens on a large alley of plane trees. This one led to this worthy residence whose decor done in trompe-l'oeil the visitor surprises.

Beautiful marble columns support the elegant loggia in the taste of the Italian palates. Paintings with softening present one surprising perspective false columns. At the ends of the loggia, two groups imitating the sculpture appear the removal of Déjanire by the Nessus centaur, on the left, and the removal of Europe by Jupiter. The origin of this old house is much older than lets it suppose decoration. The lawyer Bernadino Becchi, born in the small village of Caramagne (Piedmont), was the builder at the 16th century. The property then passed to the family of the Bertrand of Perugia, then in Frederic de Bellegarde in 1783. The decoration of the large living room (fine 18th century) as that of the frontages (beginning 19th century) would have been carried out at the time of this owner, by artists Piedmontese but whose names are unknown. In 1812, a former serviceman, Joseph Waistcoat, take possession of the house, but rents it in 1820 with the marchioness of Pierre, English married to Chambérien, and one of its compatriots, Mrs Birch. The Alphonse poet of Lamartine meets in 1819 the girl of this one. One year later, they are linked. The large living room - masterpiece of decorations in stucco - remains famous thanks to the marriage contract signed on May 25th, 1820.

XIXe century

monumental the street of Boigne bordered of gantries to the inhabitant of Turin mode, was bored between 1824 and 1830 thanks to liberalities of the general of Boigne, generous town planner returning in his birthplace. This artery, “bored in blow of saber”, brings in romantic Chambéry of then a salutary ventilation of urban space, in spite of the regrettable disappearance of historical buildings undoubtedly of the most interest, like the old hotels of Buttet, Chavanne and Lescheraine… This new way very quickly becomes the center society man of the city where the families of notable settle, but also the luxury trades, the living rooms of the… Stendhal writes in 1837 in the Memories of a tourist: “… such a convenient place becomes soon the appointment of all that is bored and wants to be distracted one day from rain; it is established there coffees, shops of luxury, literary cabinets, where one will spend one hour or two when it gives a black north wind and that one is bored at home… It rained today. I spent all my day under the gantries of the beautiful street of Chambéry. I thought of soft Italy…”

the Fountain of the elephants (commonly called four without bottoms ), is perhaps the most famous monument of Chambéry, it was set up in 1838 by the Grenoble-native sculptor Pierre-Victor Sappey which commemorates the exploits in India of the marathe S of the general count de Boigne (1751-1830). After the death of the general Count de Boigne in 1831, the Town of Chambéry decides to raise a monument to perpetuate the memory and the benefits of the famous character. The Council of City chose the project of the Resident of Grenoble Pierre-Victor Sappey, for his originality and its low costs. The monument is inaugurated on December 10th 1838. The unit, high of 17,65 meters, is a skilful superposition of three monuments: a fountain, a column and a statue. The fountain presents in its plan the Croix of Savoy. Four elephants joined together by the croup, made out of pig iron, throw water by the horn in a basin of octagonal form. They carry each one a tower of combat surmounted by a low-relief or an inscription. Above are a large variety of trophies: “Of the weapons Persians, mogholes, Hindu; various objects pointing out the Manners, the Art S and the civilization of the people which the general of Boigne fought or controlled, compose the trophies”. The large column is symbolized by a trunk of Palmier, it carries in its top the Statue of the General. It is represented with the costume of general lieutenant of S.M. the King de Sardaigne. Saved by the bombardment of May 1944, the statue throne proudly from the point of view of the street of Boigne and remains still today a strong emblem of the city.

Chambéry has many statues, the majority installed at the time republican, objects of republican and radical political homages opposing. One will find, with the wire of the streets:

the Sasson ( Large woman into Savoyard) is a monument of the sculptor Alexandre Falguière installed in 1892 to commemorate the first fastening of Savoy in France which took place at the time of the Revolution in 1792. It was confiscated and unbolted by the Germans under the II° World war, one has found it decapitated in a station in Germany and found his place in the city after repairs in 1983.

the statue of the brothers Joseph and Xavier de Maistre , respectively philosopher and writer, by the sculptor Ernest Dubois in 1899, close to the castle.

the statue of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1910 - Mars Valett) flowering ash the public garden of closed Savoiroux. The philosopher is represented in pastoral walk, drawn up on a rock, vis-a-vis the city.

XXe century

rotunda the SNCF of the deposit of the station, inspired of the Architecture of Gustave Eiffel, built in 1906 is also remarkable. It was registered with the additional Inventaire of the historic buildings in 1984.

Two buildings of the Years 1930, out of concrete, are notable:

the Markets of Chambéry, good example of architecture out of concrete, realized by the architects Pierre and Raymond Bourdeix. The characteristic of the structure is to present inside the market hall a flagstone supported by beams of great range with struts out of reinforced concrete (system Hennebique), without any intermediate fulcrum. The market hall and the market of outdoor are held to with it twice per week. The Markets were the subject of a contest of architecture for the realization of a modern shopping mall. The selected project will make it possible to emphasize the existing structure, and its realization will be completed in 2010.
the old departmental records, 1936 (Roger Pétriaux).

Religious monuments

the church Saint-Pierre de Lémenc , mainly of the 15th century, shelters a older Crypte, whose date and destination are very badly known. A rotunda made up of six columns, of a great beauty, would have perhaps been used of reliquary monumental or baptistry. The archeologists are not agreement on its dating (IXe or XI century?).

the cathedral Saint-François-of-Dirty , is an old vault franciscaine built at the 15th century. It became Cathédrale in 1779, during the creation of the Évêché of Chambéry, then Métropole in 1817, at the time of its transformation into Archevêché. It shelters the vastest whole of painting in Trompe the eye of Europe (1835), as well as an ivory diptych of the 12th century of Byzantine inspiration.

the church Notre-Dame , of the XVIIe century, is the old vault of the Jesuits of Chambéry. The plans are due to Etienne Martellange, architect in particular of the church Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis with Paris.
