Boigne’s street
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Chambéry, The historic capital of Savoy
With the castle behind you and the Elephants in your line of sight, you have before you the beautiful Boigne Avenue. It is more simply known as the “Arcades.” The creation of this grand and beautiful street took place between 1820 and 1830 to modernize the town, which had not yet emerged from its medieval days. As you’ve probably guessed, we owe the avenue, to the Count of Boigne. Lined with Turin-style arcades the street immediately became the center of Chambéry’s social life. Here, you’ll find the oldest shop in the city, “Au Fidèle Berger,” which has been a pastry shop since 1832. It’s a true institution, and its premises and decoration are classified as historical monuments. You’ll find it under the opposite arcade, a bit further down on the right.
