The Fontaine des Éléphants stands at the heart of Chambéry as a striking monument that blends Savoyard pride with a touch of exotic character where four monumental stone elephants emerge from a central column symbolizing the travels and achievements of General de Boigne who left a lasting mark on the city. As you approach the fountain you notice how its sculpted details and towering height create a focal point that draws people into the surrounding square and gives the area a lively yet harmonious rhythm. The space around the fountain is ideal for a relaxed pause or a short city walk and from here you can easily continue toward the historic lanes the château or the shaded quays of the Leysse. The fountain often acts as a natural meeting point and its central location makes it an inviting starting moment for exploring Chambéry while also offering a gentle activity in the form of an easy stroll through the connected streets and arcades that shape the old town.
