Amboise
Situated in the Touraine - “the Garden of France”- a region well-known for its pure French and classed in 2000 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amboise is the ideal base for excursions to the world-famous Loire castles and vineyards. It’s no coincidence that Mick Jagger has chosen to make Amboise his second home!
