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.

La cathédrale cache des décors en trompe l'oeil à voir absolument.
Ne vous laissez pas arrêter par la sobriété extérieure de l'édifice.

Une cathédrale magnifique dont l'histoire est à lire.
L'orgue qui trône dans la cathédrale est aussi monumental que sublime.
Il faut prendre le temps d’apprécier toutes les peintures qui sont vraiment nombreuses.
une visite très agréable et colorée.

Une très belle cathédrale, il faut du temps pour apprécier pleinement toutes les peintures trompe l’œil mais ça en vaut la peine !

Cette cathédrale est la championne des peintures en trompe l'oeil : plusieurs milliers de mètres carrés vous laisseront interloqués ! Retournez vous pour admirer l'orgue et si vous avez la possibilité de visiter un dimanche d'été vous aurez peut-être le plaisir d'assister à un concert gratuit.
I recommend to visit with a guide fear passing next to essential symbols on the front and inside the cathedrals. The history of that here alone is worth the detour
