About Château Royal d'Amboise

Amboise Castle is a highlight of any Loire Valley visit, bringing together royal heritage, artistic legacy, and scenic surroundings. The castle offers a close look at Renaissance history, the lasting influence of Leonardo da Vinci, and engaging storytelling through interactive tours and well-kept gardens.

Did you know?

The Saint-Hubert Chapel at Château d'Amboise houses the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, who died in Amboise in 1519 and requested burial there.

The château’s Minimes and Hertault towers feature spiral stone ramps so gentle that horses could ascend to the battlements.

Amboise Castle was a favored royal residence during the French Renaissance, hosting kings like Charles VIII and François I.

The castle’s gardens include a section dedicated to Emir Abd El Kader, an Algerian leader once imprisoned at Amboise, now celebrated with the Garden of the Orient.

Why visit Château Royal d'Amboise?

This was my first time visiting this magnificent place... Chambord is a magical place 🧙 despite a severe drought this year, which has unfortunately left the gardens looking a bit barren... It was a unique experience, thanks to the kind and attentive staff...

A very beautiful castle, though the grounds are in poor condition due to the current drought, and there aren’t enough benches in the park to rest on. Picnics are allowed, but I didn’t see any trash cans, so be sure to take your trash with you when you leave. The price, including paid parking (€21 + €8), is a bit expensive.

The visit to Chenonceau Castle was simply wonderful! The castle is impressive, and its location over the water makes it truly unique. The lovingly tended gardens are also well worth seeing and invite you to take a relaxing stroll. The tickets worked without a hitch, and the entire visit was well organized. A wonderful experience and highly recommended!

Everything was perfect, especially the flexibility of being able to choose your own arrival time. The Chenonceau Castle and gardens are truly worth seeing. It’s best to go first thing in the morning (they open at 9:00 a.m.). After 10:00 a.m., it gets very crowded.
