Discovering the Château d’Amboise
Imposing castle that served as a palace for the kings of France during the Renaissance, the castle of Amboise served as the burial place of Leonardo da Vinci. The castle offers a breathtaking view of the Loire Valley, especially from its gigantic balcony.
To tell us about it, Samuel Buchwalder is in “Ma France, l’été”. This castle enthusiast is at the origin of an original project: the “Centre Val de Loire Fortnite Tour”. This project aims to reproduce five castles of the Loire in the universe of the Fortnite video game in order to reach young people.
To admire the panoramic view from the castle, the organization gives you an appointment on August 13th. For those who would like to admire the stars, two astronomical picnics will take place on August 5, then on September 3.
