Amboise, France - Walking Tour - 4K UHD Walks

Amboise is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France.

Located on the banks of the Loire, the city owes its fame to the castle of Amboise which dominates it, the Clock Tower, the Saint-Denis church, the castle of Clos Lucé where Leonardo da Vinci died, the royal domain of Château-Gaillard built by Charles VIII in 1496 (including the gardens landscaped by Pacello da Mercogliano) and the pagoda of Chanteloup . His name is also attached to the bloody "conjuration of Amboise" of March 1560.

It is one of the eleven wine-growing communes of the "Touraine-Amboise" Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) area.

Amboise is located in the perimeter of the Loire Valley listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Amboise extends, for the most part, on the south bank of the Loire, at a place where the river separates into two arms. It encloses an island (called Île Saint-Jean, in memory of a priory battered by floods, Grande-Île or Île-d'Or), which is part of the communal territory.


The edge of the Loire in Amboise.
The city is protected from the floods of the Loire, to the south, north, west and east by very powerful dikes located next to the port (promenade du Mail, in strong elevation compared to the first houses). The suburb established on the vast island was confined to its highest part and defended from the high waters by a dike (1780).

The ancient city is overlooked by the plateau on which its castle is established.

Amboise developed north of the Loire, with the station district, but also in the south where in 1946, the commune absorbed the neighboring saint-Denis-Hors2.

Paris is 230 km away.
