Savoy (La Savoie) is the alpine area east of a Geneva Lake - Grenoble line and west of the Italian border. The famous Mont-Blanc area (see specific Region) belongs to Savoy, as well as La Vanoise or famous limestone fore-alps such as Les Aravis.
Famous lakes (Annecy Lake, Bourget Lake) and famous cities (Chambéry, Annecy, Albertville, and of course Chamonix) are in Savoy as well.
