The royal Château at Amboise is a château
located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire
département of the Loire Valley in France.

The château was beautiful, but my favorite
part was the cute, pitoresque French village
that surrounded the castle's walls.

I expected Belle from Beauty & the Beast
at any moment would come singing down the streets.

Some random photographs from my Loire visit last year.
The first picture is Château de Vallagon, the hotel we stayed in.
A delicious meal at L'Orangerie Restaurant at Château de Chenonceau.
And - my favorite - pastries from Montrichard.

Just over a year ago I went on a mini-break
visiting châteaus in the Loire Valley.

Château de Chenonceau is located at Chenonceaux,
in the département of Indre-et-Loire in France.

From all of the châteaux I visited in the Loire Valley,
this one was my favorite. The gardens were breathtakingly beautiful,
the castle felt homely, and the food at the restaurant was fantastic.
