A big castle... and a big disappointment
Chateau des Ducs de Savoie的点评
点评：I decided to visit this castle after reading countless glowing reviews online.
A majestic fortress, they said... a must-see, they insisted. Well, they clearly saw something I didn’t.
At first glance, it looked promising — the outer walls, the imposing gate, and the bastions are undeniably impressive. So far, so good.
I opted for the guided tour, which also promised the “complete” experience. That’s when things started going downhill.
A large portion of the original structures has been destroyed over time. In their place, new buildings have been erected — and they don't fit in at all with the old buildings.
These new buildings now serve as administrative offices. Translation: over 75% of the complex is closed to the public. So much for the “complete” tour.
The castle was entirely renovated in the 20th century — and yes, it shows. For example, the interior of the "Treasury Tower" (the only tower we were actually allowed to visit) looks like a set from a cheap movie .
What did the guided tour include?
The fortified gate (which, fun fact, you can visit for free anyway)
The chapel, half-empty
The treasury tower, almost empty
A cellar, entirely empty
The guide did his best and shared plenty of historical facts. But unless you're already passionate about the Duchy of Savoy, the whole lecture might feel more like a podcast you didn’t mean to start.
In conclusion, two things worth noting:
Many of the pictures associated with this tourist site have little or nothing to do with the actual castle. Likely uploaded by people hoping to score a few social media points.
Several reviews mention a “panoramic view of the city.” I’ll post a picture and let you judge whether that view was worth the hype.

翻译：在网上读了无数好评之后，我决定去参观这座城堡。
他们说，这是一座雄伟的堡垒……他们坚持说，这是必看景点。好吧，他们显然看到了一些我没注意到的东西。
乍一看，它看起来很不错——外墙、雄伟的城门和堡垒都令人印象深刻。到目前为止，一切都很好。
我选择了导览游，他们承诺提供“完整”的体验。但事情就是从那时开始走下坡路的。
随着时间的推移，原有的大部分建筑已经被摧毁。取而代之的是新建筑——它们与旧建筑格格不入。
这些新建筑现在用作行政办公室。也就是说，超过75%的建筑群不对公众开放。所谓的“完整”导览就到此为止了。
这座城堡在20世纪进行了全面翻修——的确，翻修工程确实让人印象深刻。例如，“国库塔”（我们唯一获准参观的塔楼）的内部看起来就像廉价电影里的场景。
导览游都包含哪些内容？
防御城门（有趣的是，你可以免费参观）
教堂，半空
国库塔，几乎空无一人
地下室，空无一人
导游尽了最大努力，分享了大量历史知识。但除非你对萨伏依公国充满热情，否则整个讲座可能更像是一个你无意开始的播客。
总而言之，有两点值得注意：
许多与这个旅游景点相关的图片与城堡本身几乎没有任何关联。很可能是那些想在社交媒体上捞点好处的人上传的。
一些评论提到了“城市全景”。我会上传一张照片，让你判断这个景色是否值得大肆宣传。
