Chindrieux

Anchored on the northwestern shore of Lac du Bourget, Chindrieux developed into a lakeside commune in Savoie’s Chautagne area. France’s largest natural lake shapes local life, with wooded slopes, vineyards and small shore settlements surrounding its northern end. The vineyards of Chautagne form part of the Savoie wine country, producing wines under the Vin de Savoie Chautagne designation. At the hamlet of Portout, archaeological work has revealed traces of an early medieval settlement. Further down the western shore, Hautecombe Abbey is closely associated with the House of Savoy and contains tombs of its rulers.
