Amboise Castle was built before the Renaissance in a Gothic style on top of a cliff. The view from the castle is beautiful by the other bank of the Loire River.
It was the royal residence of Charles VIII.
From an architecture standpoint, the castle has two towers bridleways. These tours are very rare in Europe. Their use was simple, they allowed the horses and carriages to the castle from the bottom of the town of Amboise.
The supposed remains of the body of Leonardo da Vinci are in the Chapel of St. Hubert, adjoining the castle.
The visit of the castle can be freely or in groups with a guide.
