The
Château d'Amboise was our first stop in Amboise - a tour that lasted about 45 minutes. We we there during the week, so it was not as crowded as expected. Beautiful landscaped gardens and gorgeous views of the river Loire. A short 10 minute walk from this château is the
Château Clos Lucé - famous for being the official residence of Leonardo da Vinci between 1516 and 1519.
The Clos Lucé was under renovation, with only a part of the château open for viewing. We did get a complimentary visit to the exhibition that had miniature models of the artist's work - which proved to be a big hit with my children.
