Amboise

Took a little field trip today to a nearby castle and Leonardo Da Vinci's last home.

Amboise [ahm-bwaz] is a beautiful, tiny town, with a population of about 2,000.

As is true in most of the region, the centre ville surrounds the chateau.  Le Chateau Amboise was mostly destroyed but this still remains:

Beautiful grounds:

Burial place of Da Vinci:

Tried some pizza avec fruit de mer to change things up:

Da Vinci's last home/place of death:

Some Da Vinci inventions (but really, what didn't he invent?):

Sunset on the way home:

Quite possibly one of the loveliest days in France...Happy 11-11-11 a tous!!!
