The Gardens at the Amboise Château Royal

….my favourite part of the château had to be the surrounding gardens

Part 2

The gardens were created at the end of the 15th century. King Charles VIII was so impressed with the gardens in Naples that he commissioned a Neapolitan priest, Dom Pacello da Mercogliano to recreate a pleasure garden and quiet space.

*The site of Leonardo da Vinci’s burial ground*

*In the past few years it has been replanted with boxwood, cypress trees, vines and grasses*

*The Lebanese Cedar provides a cool, shady spot to rest*

We had perfect weather as well and I got a bit of a sunburn. I could have spent more time there but we had to catch a train back to our Airbnb.
