(Last Update: 06.01.2026) This time we are visiting Château d'Amboise - Amboise Castle, one of the most important castles in French history, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. Amboise Castle, one of the most important among the Loire Valley Castles, is located approximately 225 kilometers from Paris, in the city (or rather town) of Amboise (anbuaz) on the banks of the Loire River, overlooking the Loire Valley from a high hill, worth visiting, and very special.
