219km (136 miles) SW of Paris, 35km (22 miles) E of Tours
Amboise is on the banks of the Loire in the center of vineyards known as Touraine-Amboise. The good news: This is a real Renaissance town. The bad news: Because it is so beautiful, tour buses overrun it, especially in summer. Many townspeople still talk about Mick Jagger's purchase of a nearby château. An earlier resident was Leonardo da Vinci, who spent his last years here.
