A really beautiful white chateau, situated above the small town of Amboise. The chateau is beautiful inside and houses some amazing furniture and paintings, including a collection of wonderful Winterhalter portraits of the Orleans royal family.
The chateau has associations with Francois I, Mary Stuart and also Leonardo da Vinci, who died in a house nearby.
Definitely worth a visit.

This is a translation
Join the hordes of English, and go visit the castle d’ Amboise. The latter is the former residence of François I, king of France of the Valois family and patron of Leonardo de Vinci. Francois I appreciated art and design and his castle resembles to him. An architectural wonder!

Amboise is slightly disappointing (compared to the other chateau’s dotted around the Loire).
It has a somewhat compact, squat chateau shape, in ok grounds. Nothing amazing but if you are in the area, stop by.
