Royal castle of Renaissance style which welcomed the greatest men of the history of which Louis XII, admirable decoration and gardens.

This magnificent chateau, built in 1496 by King Charles VIII, has seen some of the greatest figures in French history pass through its doors. This jewel of Renaissance architecture captivates not only by its buildings and refined interiors, but also by its vast gardens, created on the initiative of master gardener Dom Pacello. It was here that he introduced France's first orange trees. Stroll along the wooded paths and discover the exotic richness of the place.

j'habite près d'Amboise et je viens de découvrir Chateau-Gaillard par temps de canicule ! un petit bonheur de se promener à travers bois, jardin, orangeraie, petits sentiers le long de l'Amasse , une super découverte d'un lieu très récemment ouvert au public et seulement de juin à septembre, un vrai petit joyau renaissance et une collection des variétés d'agrumes ; expérience sympa: la grotte olfactive et les 12 parfums d'agrumes !

La visite du château est bien car elle montre diverses architectures de l'époque et la guide raconte plein de petites anecdotes.Mais c'est l'orangerie et les jardins qui sont un must.Très bien aménagés et reconstitués, ils donnent bien l'idée que ce faisaient les gens de la Renaissance d'une jardin.
