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!!!
