Colorful cakes in the show-case. |
You can find wood-framed buildings in Amboise, too. |
After breakfast, we entered Château d'Amboise. It was built on a promontory overlooking the Loire River. |
This is the Chapel of Saint-Hubert, adjoining the Château where Leonardo da Vinci is buried. |
Here. |
This is the château. |

We spent a long time here. We enjoyed it very much. Then we left for Tours. |
