Chateau d'Amboise France history and visitor information
The castle at Amboise was originally built for the strategic view it provided over the Loire River at an important crossing point - at that stage a ford, although there is now a bridge. It was the first to have gardens laid out in the formal style that came to be known as 'French style gardens'.
