About

During the Renaissance, the Palace of Kings showcased pomp, beauty, creativity, and excess. When the kings of France built superb palaces inspired by the Italian Renaissance, their architects crafted architectural gems. Discover Amboise, the favorite castle of King Francis I.

The Saint Hubert Chapel, after nearly three years of extensive restoration, reopened in June 2024. A jewel of Renaissance architecture, it houses the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci. The restoration is fascinating, with the restored dazzling whiteness of the stones and the roof’s gilding illuminating the spire once more. In this setting, the tomb becomes an essential stop at the Royal Château of Amboise.

Nestled between the sky and the Loire, the terraces of the Château Royal d’Amboise offer one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Loire Valley, with views of landscapes listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
