Visit Charming and Historic Amboise, France

Come and wander historic Amboise and the beautiful château here, and learn some of its history.
NOTE: Francois II was the son of Henry II and CATHERINE de Medici (Not Marie). Not sure how I messed up those names, sorry! 🙏
Definitely do not miss this beautiful spot if you're planning a Loire Valley trip! We fell in love with the area around Amboise as well, and we'll be sharing all the stops we visited in our Loire Valley playlist. Hopefully this will inspire YOU to visit these amazing places and learn their history as well!

I’m confused…Francis II was the son of Catherine de’Medici (not Marie)

[@MilesAwaywithUs]

You're right! If I said Marie, that was incorrect. Thank you! I added a note in the comments and will fix the captioning.

[@mattyj198]

One of my favourite towns to visit. We own a house about an hour south of there.

[@MilesAwaywithUs]

Oh wow, what a perfect area! We loved it!

The chapel Saint Hubert where Leonardo da Vinci is buried is in renovation behind the scaffoldings at 2:25 ! Before renovation with his grave at 0:12: ua-cam.com/video/Kisbw4AN4VQ/v-deo.html And after renovation at the very end of this video: ua-cam.com/video/ksBmvleUdqI/v-deo.html Unfortunately as you said most of the castle was destroyed in 1660 but above all in 1806.

[@MilesAwaywithUs]

Thanks for sharing those links! We'd love to go back there sometime 😀
