Amboise
Amboise viewed from the Château d'Amboise
Amboise is a medieval town and a commune of France, in the Indre-et-Loire département, on the banks of the Loire River.
The city is famous for the Clos Lucé manor house where Leonardo da Vinci lived at the invitation of Francis I of France, whose Château d'Amboise, which dominates the town, is located just 500 meters away. The narrow streets contain some good examples of timbered housing. Today a small market town, it was once home of the French royal court.
