Perched on a promontory overlooking the Loire, the castle of Charles VIII and Francis I reveals its medieval secrets little by little: part of its underground passageways and the majestic Minimes cavalry tower. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, this highly significant site in the history of France also houses an exceptional collection of Gothic and Renaissance furniture. The tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, who spent his final years in Amboise, is located in the chapel.
