Its network of highways makes it the perfect place to start your journey.

Five natural parks surround Chambéry (many more if you go more than an hour outside the city). Why so many? It’s simple. This part of France is a natural wonder.

The Great Outdoors
Just outside of Grenoble is Parc National des Ecrins. Named for its Ecrins massif, this is one of France’s best known and most loved national parks. Pure mountain lakes, massive glaciers, and glacier-etched, evergreen-studded valleys are a few of the vistas you can take in from over 400 miles (700 kilometers) of trails. The village of La Grave, within the park, is often considered the most beautiful village in France. Around the park are endless recreation opportunities, including skiing, mountain biking, and dogsledding. Keep in mind that there are no sizeable towns within the park, so plan accordingly.Also not far from Chambéry is Vanoise National Park. Vanoise is a beautiful place to hike. Hikes range in length from short, child-friendly walks to weeks-long treks. The Via Alpina and the GR 5 both wind through Vanoise. You can summit peaks, cross burbling blue streams, and gaze up at snow-capped mountains from the hundreds of miles of trails. The park even offers a web portal where visitors can plan their hiking adventures. Note that the trails are only passable in the summer and early fall due to the alpine weather. A few other sports available are climbing, horseback riding, and canoeing, as well as, of course, alpine and cross-country skiing. Because Vanoise is dedicated to preserving the environment and the culture, it’s home to several interesting museums and exhibitions.Just down the highway from Chambéry and Lyon is Parc Naturel Regional de la Chartreuse. This huge natural park truly has everything. Here, you can roam over 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) of trails on foot, snowshoe, horseback, or bike. You can enjoy caving, climbing, paragliding, and skiing from within. This park is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts and runners. Like the other natural parks of France, people still live and work here. That means it’s a great place to explore local food, wines, and markets. You may also spot golden eagles, lynxes, or other rare creatures.Several other natural parks are near Chambéry, including Parc Naturel Régional Haut-Jura near Mâcon, Parc Naturel Regional du Pilat near Saint-Étienne, and Parc Naturel Régional du Queyras and Parc National du Mercantour near Nice. Just across the Italian border is Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso. No matter which one you're heading for, Chambéry is the perfect place to find a luxury RV rental in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and start your journey.

Exploring the City
Chambéry is a great place to rent an RV and springboard into the surrounding natural wonder. But there's also plenty worth seeing in the city. This town is at least 1,000 years old, and many of its medieval buildings remain. Chambéry and the surrounding area didn’t become part of France until 1792. Before that, they were part of the Duchy of Savoy for 500 years. This history gives the region much of its charm and culture.You may enjoy strolling through the streets of Ville Ancienne, the medieval quarter. Peek into secluded courtyards, sneak down narrow alleyways, and gaze up at the colorful, centuries-old buildings. There are plenty of cafés along the way — pop in and enjoy a traditional snack.One sight worth seeing on your stroll is the Fontaine des Éléphants. It’s a huge, elaborate fountain with, you guessed it, elephants, built in honor of one of Chambéry’s benefactors. The four elephants are marching out of the fountain, which is why they’re nicknamed “les quatre sans culs” (the four buttless ones).While you’re visiting the old town, you can check out Château des Ducs de Savoie. This grand and imposing building was the home of the Dukes of Savoy for hundreds of years before this region was annexed by France. Parts of this building are almost a millennium old.

Le campeur était magnifique (neuf!) et convenait parfaitement à notre famille de 6 (4 ados) avec 6 vélos :-) Je n'ai pas cru bon le déclarer pour ne pas me voir refuser la réservation. Pas facile de voyager avec une famille de 4 enfants! Il aurait été pratique que la hauteur de la capucine soit inscrite qqpart de visible pour faciliter les entrées dans les stationnements avec portail :-) J'ai apprécié le fait que votre site permettait de sélectionner exactement le modèle du campeur et pas "ou modèle similaire" en raison du besoin de 6 ceintures et places à coucher.Mon principal bémol est au niveau des communications en amont du séjour. Les messages email automatiques ne donnaient aucune référence (nom de personne ou no de téléphone). L'addresse de provenance apparaissait peu invitante : "9611291-vpjma0qayrvukipg-bookings@reply.outdoorsy.co" J'avais des questions et je ne savais pas à qui les poser. Même chose lors de la transaction sur le site web. Aucun contrat autre que le pdf de la réussite de la transaction de réservation et les conditions générales de locations référant à "Contact: téléphone : xx.XX.XX.XX.XX, e-mail : xxxx@hunyvers.com. Internet : www.hunyvers.com". Aussi, je trouverais plus juste que les retours soient permis à la même heure que la prise pour le calcul des jours loués (prise le soir, retour le matin, calculé à une journée complète...) Aussi, le frais de transaction international devrait être affiché sur le site. Je ne comprends pas la raison. Aucune autre transaction effectuées en europe y compris ma location de voiture suivant le camping car ne demande une telle charge... Ma carte peut porter une transaction en Euro. Je ne vois pas ce qui justifie cette charge que je ne connaissait pas lors de la réservation. Ca ressemble une augmentation de prix déguisée.Le responsable sur place a été super cordial et bienveillant. Il a fait preuve de flexibilité lors du retour 20 min plus tard que prévu en raison d'un problème de cartes sur les pompes à essence visitées pour faire le plein au retour.Dernière chose, on n'a jamais trouvé comment activer le chauffe eau... Ce serait bien d'avoir un collant code QR à l'intérieur donnant accès aux différents manuels usagers :-)Sinon merci encore pour nous avoir permis ce beau voyage cyclo-sportif dans les Alpes Francaise! Le camping car est la meilleure facon de les découvrir. Nous ne manquerons pas de recommander notre périple à de nombreux amis!
