There was already a castle here in the Middle Ages. Count Odo I of Blois had it built in the 10th century to protect Blois from attacks by Foulques Nerra, Count of Anjou. He later gave it to the Norman knight Gelduin, who fought as a vassal for the House of Blois and had the fortress reinforced. Gelduin's son, Geoffroy, had no male successor and left the inheritance to his great-niece, Denise de Fougères. She married Sulpice I of Amboise in 1054, so the property thus passed to the Amboise family, who would own the castle for the next five centuries.

I walked the route with my dogs, so I only walked around the castle and the castle gardens and did not go inside. The promenade along the Loire is very beautiful, natural and picturesque. I had hoped to get a view of the landscape from above, but that was not really possible at any point on this path. Still a nice walk.

Sublime castle, with magnificent gardens and a superb view of the Loire and its valley. Works of art are also present in the castle park, in addition to the gardens.
