Monday's Loire Valley chateau — Chateau d'Amboise...looking up!


Standing on Rue de la Concorde in Amboise, the château rises above you like a carved stone cliff. Layers of history stack upward, defensive walls, elegant Renaissance windows and a skyline of spires shaped by centuries of kings and architects.

From this angle, the building feels almost weightless despite its size, the details unfolding only as you look higher. A reminder that in the Loire, even familiar landmarks can feel different when seen from below.

“Some views in the Loire Valley aren’t found — they’re discovered by looking up.”
