Château Royal d'Amboise - with histopad

Immerse yourself in the world of the kings of France with a visit to the Royal Château of Amboise!

Explore this jewel of the Renaissance, a symbol of royal power at its height. Overlooking the Loire, the château offers an exceptional historical and natural setting.

The favourite residence of King François I, the château was at the centre of major events at court. Discover the elegance of its architecture and the traces left by the sovereigns of the time.

You will visit the Saint-Hubert chapel, recently restored after an extensive restoration project lasting almost three years. The painstaking work has restored the whole structure to its former glory, from the whitewashed façades to the gilded ornamentation on the spire. This solemn site is home to the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, an emblematic figure of the Renaissance and a close friend of the king.

You will then stroll through the hanging gardens, 2 hectares of landscaped terraces overlooking the valley. The breathtaking views of the river and its banks will make your visit an unforgettable experience.

Thanks to the included Histopad, you can enjoy an interactive tour in augmented reality. This tablet will transport you back to the time of the kings, with immersive reconstructions of the castle's rooms, their furnishings and their occupants.
