The municipality of Chambéry (59,856 inhabitants in 2021; 2,099 ha) is located half distance (55 km) of Grenoble and Annecy.
Chambéry became the capital of the County of Savoy in
1232, which was erected to Duchy in 1391. After several French
occupations, Duke Emmanuel-Philibert transfered in 1563 the
capital of the Duchy to Turin, beyond
the Alps mountains, and therefore less exposed to French
conquest. As a compensation, Chambéry was granted in 1559
a Senate constituted on the model of the French (local) parliaments.

The flag of Chambéry (photo) is a banner of the municipal arms, "Gules a cross argent (Savoy) a star or in canton".
