    Thanks Vero for the epic story you have told about the history of the Château, today my husband and myself we have visited the château. It’s under 5 minutes walk from Clos Lucé but certainly on a path less frequented by the mass tourists and we are glad we are privy to the “insider” info you shared via this video

    Rewatched again tonight for our viewing pleasure. Enjoyed when you did this last year. We love Amboise (like Tours). Wanted to visit Gaillard last October but after Clos Luce the rain was too much and got soaked to the bone on our walk back to our fav Amboise hotel, Le Clos d’Amboise.

    So lovely! A private reward for taking a few more steps than most other tourists. Great story about the bouquet of orange blossoms.

      Yes, please do! Most people miss it, and it's so close to le Clos Lucé. :-)

    For anyone interested in seeing the interior of Chateau Gaillard, here's a link. I learned that modern billiards came from King' Louis XI's request for a game of croquet that he could play on a table top! ua-cam.com/video/flJTkOtocmw/v-deo.html
