As we had just spent two glorious nights at Chateau de la Barre exploring the Loire Valley’s grand Chateaux (including Chenonceau, Chambord and Cheverny – read more in my post “The Loire Valley Chateaux“), we only booked one night in Amboise, one of the Loire Valley’s bigger cities.
With such limited time in Amboise, we limited our site-seeing to one “must see site” which was Leonardo da Vinci’s old home, and now a museum honouring his work – Château du Clos Lucé.
