Chambery is the capital of the department of Savoie and has been the historical capital of the Savoy region since the 13th century. Chambery is situated in southeast France between the Jura Mountains and the Alps. The history of Chambery is closely linked to the House of Savoy. The first counts of Savoy settled into fortress in 1285 and expanded it in the early-14th century to serve as a residence, seat of power and administration for the House of Savoy. Today, the political administration of the department of Savoie is located in the castle, and it is open for tours and concerts. The Fontaine des Elephants is the most famous landmark in Chambery. It was built in 1838 to honour Benoit de Boigne's feats when he was in India.
