When to go to Amboise?
The royal château stands high above the Loire, its terrace giving the best view of the river and the slate roofs below. A short walk uphill, Clos Lucé keeps Leonardo da Vinci's rooms and working models built from his drawings. Add a walk along the riverbank or out to the Chanteloup pagoda, and the town unfolds at an easy pace.
