The Royal Chateau of Amboise<\/strong> is without doubt the cradle of the Renaissance in France<\/strong>, and the first of the Renaissance Ch\u00e2teaux<\/strong>. Of its medieval<\/strong> origins, only a few elements remain within its impressive ramparts, such as the Tour Gar\u00e7onnet<\/strong>, which overlooks the Loire River.<\/strong> In fact, King Charles VII<\/strong>I was responsible for the construction of this elegant palace, designed to house the court in the heart of the Loire Valley.<\/strong> Born in Amboise on June 30, 1470, Charles VIII<\/strong> grew up in the old ch\u00e2teau, which had been rebuilt by his father Louis XI<\/strong> on the foundations of a medieval fortress<\/strong>. But it was his discovery of the fantastic Italian landscape, its gardens and its revolutionary architecture for the time, that led the sovereign to transform his good city of Amboise<\/strong>, and first and foremost its ch\u00e2teau, into a Renaissance marvel.<\/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

In 1494, King Charles VIII<\/strong> assembled the royal army for what was to become the first Italian War. Eager to be crowned King of Naples, he crossed the Alps, taking one of Italy’s most beautiful cities, such as Florence and Rome, after another, before defeating his rival, the King of Aragon. Enthralled by the beauties of 16th-century Italy, he assembled a troupe of dozens of Italian artists and craftsmen, with the mission of bringing back to France, in addition to the many treasures he had collected, a new art of living, since christened the \u201cRenaissance\u201d. Amboise and its ch\u00e2teaux<\/strong> <\/a>served as a life-size testing ground for all these artists of genius.<\/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

Today’s visitor will find it hard to imagine the impressive building erected for the King as early as 1495! Indeed, today’s Royal Chateau of Amboise<\/strong> retains barely a quarter of the original monument. The two-storey royal dwelling now houses the King’s bedroom, dining room, council chamber, etc. At the end of the 15th century, the plateau overlooking the Loire was dotted with buildings linked by galleries and passageways. At their heart was the magnificent collegiate church of Saint Florentin. Abandonment and destruction have unfortunately reduced the built area to twenty percent of its original size, but the prestige of the site remains.<\/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

Excitement was at its peak on April 7, 1498. The King is organizing a Jeu de Paume tournament at the Royal Chateau of Amboise<\/strong>. The corridors are crowded with spectators. As the king crosses the Haquelebacq<\/strong> gallery, his head collides violently with the lintel of a low door. Stunned, the king rises to his feet, cheering even the best players. Suddenly, the king collapses again! He is carried delirious into an unsanitary corridor, where he agonizes for several hours. Around eleven o’clock in the evening, says one chronicler, \u201cthe king is dead, God willing\u201d. Thus died the first king of the French Renaissance, at the age of 27, a tragic fate for a king barely over five feet tall!<\/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

Louis XII<\/strong> succeeded Charles VIII<\/strong>, and, lacking an heir, brought his closest cousin, the young Fran\u00e7ois d’Angoul\u00eame, to Amboise<\/strong>. Barely four years old, the young boy grew up at the Ch\u00e2teau d’Amboise<\/strong>, receiving the education befitting a hypothetical future sovereign. There, he already demonstrated a strong character and great courage. When Louis XII died in early 1515, it was only natural that the young man, then aged 21, should become King Fran\u00e7ois 1er<\/strong>. He left for Italy, from where he returned crowned with the victory of Marignan, eager to reproduce the wonders he had discovered on the other side of the Alps. And so it was that the Royal Chateau of Amboise<\/strong>, like its neighbors Blois<\/strong> and Chambord<\/strong>, underwent another metamorphosis.<\/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

One of the most important testimonies to the life of Fran\u00e7ois 1er at Amboise is the invitation extended to Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong><\/a>, the Florentine genius, to settle in the pretty town on the banks of the Loire. It was in the autumn of 1516 that Leonardo da Vinci set down his easels and parchments in Amboise, at the Chateau of Clos Luc\u00e9,<\/strong><\/a> a stone’s throw from the Royal Chateau. He worked there for the King for three years, before passing away on May 2, 1519. In accordance with his wishes, he was buried in the Saint Florentin collegiate church of the Royal Chateau. His presumed remains, exhumed more than three centuries later, now rest in the Gothic jewel that is the chapelle Saint Hubert, magnificently restored in 2024.<\/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

In 1830, another king, Louis-Philippe, took possession of the illustrious monument. He set about preserving what could be preserved, but the ch\u00e2teau had suffered the ravages of time. It was against this backdrop that an extraordinary personality took up residence, despite himself, for several years. After fighting against the French army in the Algerian desert, Emir Abd El Kader<\/strong> was taken prisoner and transferred to Amboise with twenty-five members of his \u201csmala\u201d. Unaccustomed to the harshness of the Loire winter, ten of them lost their lives. Today, they rest in the Muslim square, high up in the magnificent gardens of the Royal Chateau of Amboise.<\/strong><\/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
