Dead as a Door Nail in Amboise

Amboise is very much the tourist hub of the Touraine Loire Valley, but off peak you would struggle to believe it. This photo was taken at 10 o'clock in the morning on 7 March 2023. In summer this scene would be transformed by a heaving mass of people. So maybe think about visiting from October to April and avoid the crowds. Email us if you have questions about what you can see at this time of year. And if you book a tour with us we'll explain where the phrase 'dead as a door nail' comes from...
