Our first day in the Loire River Valley took us to Chateau Clos de Luce - just down the road in Amboise - the final home of Leonardo Da Vinci where many of his inventions were scattered throughout the gardens. Then we went to the Chateau D'Amboise right in town with great views over the town and river.
