The Royal Château of Amboise (37), France.

Beginning with François I’s reign, while the court generally stayed at Fontainebleau and the Louvre, the sovereign still appreciated Amboise, up to Henri II.

From that time onwards, the Château d’Amboise was only a simple staging post for the Bourbon Kings.

Soak up the rich Spanish colonial architecture by taking a stroll through the picturesque cobble stone streets of this very walkable city.
