Amboise, France

Amboise is a wonderful city close to Tours in the central Loire river valley with a huge castle fortress, the Chateau Royal, still standing today. 


The most interesting fact about this city is Leonardo Da Vinci spent the last 3 years of his life here.  He lived at the Chateau du Clos Luce Parc Leonardo da Vinci.  It is a museum and has replicas of all his inventions and ideas.  Many of them we use today.  Wonderful place and a must visit if you are ever in this part of France!
