Château d'AmboisePhoto: AB Fondation Saint-Louis, Le Val de Loire à vélo... Simplement Grandiose !
Perched on a promontory overlooking the Loire River, the castle of Charles VIII and François I has recently unveiled its astonishing medieval backstage areas: part of its underground passages and the majestic cavalry tower of the Minimes.
Surrounded by landscaped gardens, this important place in French history also has an exceptional collection of Gothic and Renaissance furniture. As for the chapel, it houses the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, who stayed in Amboise until his death.
As a family, imagine Charles, François and the children of King Henri II and Catherine de Medici, running and laughing in the royal castle of Amboise...
Have fun discovering how those who wrote history grew up!
