The experience

Explore a palatial residence belonging to French kings and its orange grove

Live in the lap of luxury as three French kings once did with tickets to visit their royal residence at Château Gaillard Amboise.

Discover a living castle that belonged to Charles VIII, Louis XII, and François I, finally restored to its former glory by its owner (and current inhabitant).

You'll find an abundance of unique artifacts scattered throughout the chateau – a bust of Archimboldo by Christian Dior, polychrome marble marquetry in semi-precious stones from the Palazzo Pitti, unique stained glass windows, the unicorn of Queen Anne of Brittany, and a cabinet of curiosities.

Nestled at the foot of a hillside, the valley is the perfect place for orange trees to flourish. Planted by Renaissance monk Dom Pacello de Mercoliano, the orange groves at Château Gaillard Amboise were one of the first in France, and can be yours to visit with tickets to Château Gaillard Amboise.
