Saint-François-de-Sales cathedral in Chambéry, with its interior garden that hosts cultural events from time to time.

Erected by the Franciscans in the 15th century, this church was elevated to cathedral status in 1779, when the bishopric of Chambéry was created. Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of its flamboyant Gothic exterior, for the real treasures are revealed once you've passed through its doors. Inside, you'll be amazed by some 6,000 square meters of trompe-l'œil paintings and a listed organ.

surprenant
A Chambéry, il faut entrer dans la cathédrale Saint François de Sales pour voir le plus grand ensemble de décors peints d’Europe . Vous y découvrirez 6000m2 de fresques datant du XIXe siècle constituant le plus vaste ensemble de peintures en trompe-l’œil en Europe.
Située dans le centre historique de la ville de Chambéry, entre la place Saint-Léger et la rue de la Croix-d'Or :place Métropole.
N’hésitez pas à donner 2 euros à la personne présente afin qu’elle allume la nef centrale et la magie opérera !

Bel édifice, bien placé dans le centre-ville de Chambéry. Un peu sombre d'intérieur, mais bien conservé et mis en valeur. La façade est très belle, avec des tons gothiques.

Un bel édifice religieux avec la plus importante surface de trompe-l'œil d'Europe. Plus de 6000 mètres carré. Une exposition permanente à l'intérieur sur le Saint Suaire très intéressante. A voir également le trésor de la cathédrale ouvert uniquement les samedis après-midi.
