Château Gaillard is a royal estate located in Amboise, in the Loire Valley. Built in 1496 by Charles VIII, the château is a true jewel of the French Renaissance. After five years of restoration, it has opened its doors to the public and now offers a unique experience. The château is surrounded by magnificent gardens, bearing witness to the earliest gardens of the French Renaissance. Inside, visitors can admire ornate stained-glass windows and finely carved fireplaces. Luxuriously furnished in period style, the château offers a warm, cosy atmosphere, transporting visitors back to the 16th century. The estate also has a rich history, having been home to kings such as Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I. It has also been the scene of many historic events. Château Gaillard is a must-see for history and heritage lovers.

En fait, c'est plus une maison bourgeoise qu'un château, très petite taille pour un château. En cours de restauration certaines pièces. Les jardins ceux à l'entrée et face au château sont beaux, mais dès que l'on s'aventure un dans le sous bois c'est plus difficile pour passer.
Autre remarque sur le panneau à l'entrée, il parle de carpes présentes dans les étangs et la rivière et, sur le panneau c'est un saumon qui est dessiné.

Ce château est un petit bijou de verdure en pleine ville d'Amboise.
Le thème est l'orange et le citron vous l'aurez compris.
L'intérieur du château est soigné et intéressant.

Le salon de thé est (trop) cher. 8 euros une citronnade?? 6 euros une part de gâteau à l'orange??

Nombreuses balades dans les sous bois possibles. Malheureusement, il y a des arbres couchés au milieu des chemins et beaucoup de ronces.

Visite en demi-teinte,
Le château est magnifiquement restauré et meublé avec soin.
La partie jardin, ça se complique.
À l'entrée et en façade du chateau les jardins sont soignés mais le reste en sous-bois est négligé, impraticable voire même dangereux.
(Chemins glissants, chutes de pierres et arbre barrant les sentiers à plusieurs reprises)
L'accent est mis sur l'orangeraie (minuscule) et les 70 variétés d'agrumes (+/- 30 selon moi).
Bref, très déçu de cette visite dont on m'avait tant parlé.

Chateau Gaillard is a gem of a chateau in a gorgeous peaceful setting in Amboise France. The gardens were lovely & the chateau had a very important history & has been preserved with great attention to detail. The guide to the property was nicely written & very interesting. We were able to visit Cheateau Clos Luce & then walk over to Chateau Gaillard. We loved Chateau Gaillard & would highly recommend it!

Lovely Chateau with so much history! We loved wandering around. The best part - no crowds! We recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice and a slice of homemade orange cake at the café.
