The Grand Carillon of Chamb\u00e9ry was first showcased at the Universal Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in Paris in 1937. To prevent the carillon from being sold to foreigners, the people of Savoy decided to purchase it and present it to the city of Chamb\u00e9ry. It was subsequently installed in the Sainte-Chapelle of the Castle of the Dukes of Savoy on September 11, 1938. At that time, it had 37 bells.<\/p>

In 1986, the renovation of the Yolande Tower presented a unique opportunity. The carillon was carefully dismantled and transported to the PACCARD Foundry for restoration and reconstruction. The end result was a magnificent new carillon featuring 70 bells, played through carbon fiber transmission; this new technology was invented by PACCARD and elevated the musical landscape. Meanwhile, the original 1937 carillon was preserved, standing as a testament to the exceptional French craftsmanship of its era. This remarkable journey culminated on June 20, 1993, when Monsignor Feidt, Archbishop of Chamb\u00e9ry, performed the solemn blessing of the Carillon in the majestic Cour d’honneur of the Ch\u00e2teau des Ducs de Savoie. The Grand Carillon of Chamb\u00e9ry remains a world benchmark for manual carillons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
