Seven years ago we travelled through Amboise, and we decided to backtrack the steps we took then.
We saw Chateau de Amboise, as well as Leonardo da Vinci's home, Clos Luce, where you can see all the inventions he built.
We discovered that many people in Amboise still reside in the Cave Houses; these are houses that are built into the side of the mountain, with the appearance of normal houses from the front, but are in fact caves.
Once in Orleans, we visited the church where Jean de Arc (Joan of Arc) was baptised.
Travelling around Orleans, we saw beauty in absolutely everything! We also visited a castle, and the vast gardens took our breaths away, one part in particular reminding us of Monet's painting.

| The maintenance it must take to keep these gardens looking perfect has to be incredible! |
