    Booking tickets online saved me the trouble of waiting in line under the scorching sun. Chenonceau, also known as the "Women's Castle," was the residence of the queen, concubines, and other noble ladies. Each has its own garden and a river surrounding the castle, making it perfect for exploring and relaxing. If you have time, try boating for even better photo opportunities.

    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.
