The Little Train of Amboise<\/strong> is perfect for you.<\/p> In 40 minutes, it takes you through the streets of the historic center<\/strong> and reveals the city’s treasures, from the banks of the Loire<\/strong> to the Renaissance ch\u00e2teaux<\/strong>, all accompanied by commentary so you don’t miss a thing about the history<\/strong> around you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The route begins at Place Michel Debr\u00e9<\/strong>, opposite the Royal Ch\u00e2teau of Amboise,<\/strong> and winds its way through the town in a dozen carefully chosen stops. On the itinerary: the Royal Ch\u00e2teau, of course, the troglodyte houses<\/strong> carved into the tufa stone, the Ch\u00e2teau du Clos Luc\u00e9<\/strong> where Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong> spent his final years, the Royal Estate of Ch\u00e2teau Gaillard<\/strong>, Place Richelieu, the banks of the Loire, the Church of Saint-Denis, the Clock Tower<\/strong>, and the Max Ernst Fountain<\/strong>.<\/p> The highlight? A photo stop on \u00cele d’Or<\/strong>, this small island in the middle of the Loire River that offers one of the most beautiful views of the Royal Ch\u00e2teau. An ideal setting to capture the visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Perhaps this is one of the Little Train’s greatest strengths: it truly appeals to everyone.<\/p> Families<\/strong> with young children<\/strong>, people with mobility issues, and visitors in a hurry who want a quick overview before exploring further on foot…<\/p> In a single loop, you get a sense of the city, understand its geography, and identify sites you’ll want to explore in more detail later. And for those who wish to board the train directly, there’s also a stop on \u00cele d’Or.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The Little Train runs daily from April 1st to October 31st.<\/strong> Departures are from Place Michel Debr\u00e9, opposite the Royal Ch\u00e2teau of Amboise.<\/p> Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver or at the Val d’Amboise Tourist Office.<\/p> Adult: \u20ac8.00 For departure times and group information, please visit https:\/\/www.petittrain-amboise.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>
