Chateaux Weekend

So we spent a weekend in the Loire Valley, just south of Paris. We toured several chateaux and the city of Amboise.
First up is Amboise, which housed an amazing medieval town, Leonardo Di Vinci's house and a chateau.
Amboise:
Leo's house
his paintings as interior decoration for his room:
his kitchen:
Leo preserved in his basement!
