Description
Leonardo da Vinci tomb Chateau of Amboise
We chose to stay at the Hotel Le Choiseul which is nestled in at the base of the Château Royal d’Amboise. To fill you in on what exactly this place is, there is some very helpful information located right on the Château’s website. Essentially, this magnificent structure was initially constructed as a home for French royalty beginning in the 15th century.
Now it is no longer used for housing royals, but it is of course open to visitors who wish to tour the grounds and take in the picturesque views from the many breathtaking vantage points. You’ll discover so many intriguing details throughout the place if you choose to take a tour. One rather amazing fact about it is that the great Leonardo da Vinci’s tomb is preserved in this very location.
The Château’s website is rich in historical details such as this for those that wish to explore the famous figures that are connected in some manner to the place. And the actual Château Royal d’Amboise itself features some impressive models of what the structure looked like in previous eras.
How fun that our hotel was located so close to the Château Royal d’Amboise! To think we were just mere steps away from so many places that hold so much history is just awe-inspiring. Our itinerary for this trip incorporated many opportunities to revel in the rich history of the Chateau region and we couldn’t wait to begin our tours.
