Explore France’s Loire Valley in the Footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci
- jahn716 8y agoI've been to the town twice (Amboise) while visiting the Loire Valley - it's pretty nice and quaint as you'd imagine medieval towns in the French wine country. Walkable, picturesque, good food and wine. However, the Leonardo da Vinci related stuff is surprisingly gaudy. And for some reason the main da Vinci exhibit is sponsored by IBM yet still expensive for admission. Overall, if you're in the area it's worth checking out. But nothing to go out of your way for.
