Amboise

Our last stop on our early-summer trip to France was at the municipal campsite on the Ile d’Or at Amboise 

Access to the town is back across the bridge over the Loire. It was a long way for Cath but she took it in easy stages.

We also took advantage of the Tourist Train which has a stop just outside the campsite gates     

We had arranged a rendezvous with our chums, David and Kathy, whom we first met in the Var. They were on a short break to do some cycling to the Chateaux of the Loire. They had time to share a ride on the ‘Tic-Tok’.

One stop on the route was Leonardo da Vincii’s house.

Despite the limitations on our mobility, we managed to enjoy strolls around the pedestrian precinct of the old town. We had visited the castle many years ago and so weren’t disappointed that we couldn’t visit it this time. Here are  some photos.      

And here’s the view from the campsite!
