Chateau d'Amboise






The castle's chapel, where Leonardo da Vinci is buried.



The chateau of Amboise is one of the most famous in the region. It is perched on a hill and offers spectacular views of the town below and of the Loire. The castle seems huge until you learn that it is only the remains of a massive fortress. Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years in Amboise, and you can visit his house and workshop.
