Spent the afternoon in Amboise yesterday after stopping in at Bléré with the intention having lunch at 'Le Cheval Blanc' but failed to check their website before venturing out - they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! We ended up along the street at 'La Charbonnette' which proved to be a reasonable second choice.
After lunch we took a walk up to the banks of the river Cher where,during the summer months, they create a little beach.
Then it was along to the cave to pick up some rose before continuing up to Amboise.
As you can see from the top pick the town was probably not as busy as it would normally be at this time of year but it still felt a little uncomfortable with all these peeps,even with everyone obeying the wear a mask rule.
The queue to get into the chateau,the reason for our visit, was a little disconcerting and could have been made easier by buying tickets online and missing the wait.
It had been a number of years since we had actually been inside the chateau and this visit confirmed my view that what makes it worthwhile is the grounds and the views from the ramparts with the inside of the chateau itself being a little underwhelming.
