SIX THINGS TO DO IN CHAMBERY





5. Enjoy coffee with a praline brioche at a street café.
Sitting on the terrace of The Ernest Patisserie and café at 49 Place Saint-Léger, we enjoyed watching the sellers and buyers at the brocante.
We found very good coffee at a Scandinavian designed café called Café Initiés with a small square to sit outside on a pretty small back street called Rue Derrière les Murs.


6. Eat a great lunch
I narrowed my list down to three places I wanted to try which all looked wonderful. The place I finally settled for was L’Atelier, 59 Rue de la République and had a covered outdoor terrace which was perfect for this late summer’s day. Lunch was the menu du jour reasonably priced for 3 courses at €21,00 or choice of an entrée and plat or plat and dessert for €18,00 (prices correct at time of writing September 2018). The Chef proprietor Gilles Hererd has been at L’Atelier for 10 years after being responsible for the opening of Kilimandjaro in Courchevel, now renamed K2. During his career, he has worked under some very well known chefs including Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse. The food was delicious.
