Château des ducs de Savoie à Chambéry



Bonjour mes amis! Today we visited the chateau of the dukes of Savoie. This former residence of the counts and Dukes of Savoie and occasional home to the Kings of Sardinia was rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries and was partly destroyed by two fires in the 18th century, after which a royal palace - now the Préfecture - was built. We could envision the procession of dukes and their wives as they inhabited this royal castle.
Mme. Wallace
