Things to do in Chenonceaux

A stunning château with unique architecture over the river. Beautiful gardens, rich history, and very well maintained. A must-visit in France.

Visiting Amboise in the drizzle, I fell in love with it instantly; the book says that when Leonardo da Vinci came here in 1516 at the age of 64, the King of France at the time gave him a manor, and after his death three years later, the king allowed him to be buried in the Royal Castle of Amboise Leonardo da Vinci left an indelible mark in Amboise. As I saw today, many plans and buildings were designed by Leonardo da Vinci. At the same time, like some people, I sat in the small Gothic-style house where he was buried for most of the day, feeling a lot of emotion.

Closluce Castle is where Beethoven lived for over three years. It also houses his studio and where he dedicated his "Mona Lisa" to France. Book your tickets online and you won't have to exchange tickets or queue at the venue.

It was very fun. I felt like I was in a tropical rainforest. I also saw a white wolf.

The Palace of Versailles was an incredible experience and definitely a highlight of my trip to France. The palace itself is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning architecture, beautiful rooms, and so much history around every corner.The ticketing process was simple, and the ticket was easy to use for entry into all the main areas of the palace. We were able to explore comfortably without any problems.The only downside was that some parts of the gardens were under construction during our visit, so we couldn’t fully experience the gardens at their best. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. Versailles is still a must-see destination and a place I would highly recommend visiting.

It was a great summit experience, and the accompanying Seine River cruise was also excellent. Our guide was Korean and spoke both English and French, so I had no problem communicating with her in French. There was also a very friendly elderly Australian couple in our group; they even gave me a small souvenir before I left.
