The Château d'Amboise was confiscated from Louis d'Amboise after he had participated in a plot. From 1433 the castle of Amboise served as a home for several kings. Today, the Château d'Amboise can be visited and it is famous for its fortifications and the breathtaking view it offers over the Loire Valley.

Very beautiful chateau with a magnificent view over the Loire. Spiral staircase unique in Europe which allowed carriages and horses to climb!

Already the Gauls and the Romans built here. The castle was often a royal residence and so the chambers of the king can be visited. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci should lie buried here. His grave can also be visited. The heavily fortified castle is open daily for sightseeing.

Opening hours:
April to June from 9am to 6.30pm.
July and August from 9am to 7pm.
September to November from 9am to 6pm.
