This exclusive package invites you to explore centuries of history, magnificent architecture, and the legendary legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, all set in the historic town of Amboise.

Château Royal d'Amboise: A Jewel of Royal Heritage

Begin your journey at the Château Royal d'Amboise, a castle that once housed the kings of France. Dating back to the 9th century, this royal residence stands proudly above the Loire River, offering exceptional panoramic views of the Amboise landscape. As you walk through the halls, court rooms, and exquisite gardens, you will gain insight into the political and artistic life of the Renaissance. The royal chapel, a resting place of Leonardo da Vinci, and the imposing ramparts reflect the château’s important role in French history.
