- Welcome to Amboise, my friend.
This quaint, little town is nestled
against the Loire river on one side,
- [Man] and up on the hill
is the Chateau d'Amboise,
and it's beautiful, and there's little shops,
and people are cruising around everywhere.
- And you know what? It's time to explore.
- [Man] Let's go have some fun.
- If you're looking for an escape
from the hustle and bustle of Paris,
Amboise is your spot.
There's only 15,000 people here,
it's quiet, it's quaint, and it's full of beauty.
- Into the Chateau, I go. Let's do this.
- [Man] Leonardo Da Vinci spent a lot of time here.
- He was good buddies with Francis the First.
- [Man] And Francis actually funded
a lot of his art projects,
and so, this is where he spent a lot of his time.
- It's very cool.
- I'm standing in the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci,
and he's actually buried right here.
It's a beautiful, beautiful room.
- [Man] And all the stained glass,
the morning sun is pouring through its full colors.
It's absolutely beautiful.
- [Man] I've been through this entire chateau,
but this room is my favorite.
The balcony. 180 degree views
of the entire town, the Loire river, it's perfect.
- [Man] I can see why Leonardo liked this place.
