Individual visitors (in small groups formed on site) have exceptionally access to underground passageways and towers of the medieval fortress, just under the Renaissance Royal House. Thus, at the foot of the château’s walls they reach the Garçonnet Tower, built in the XVth century by order of Louis XI, from where they can join the Lys Room, formerly a refectory for the guards. From here, they follow the rampart wall as far as the ditches of the old watch tower and then past the rooms containing lapidary fragments. The visitors then make their way through the maze of underground passages to the heart of the Minimes Tower.
A one-hour guided tour in French for individual visitors in good health (over the age of 7).
Groups will be formed on site (with a maximum of 18 visitors).
Prior booking is suggested during the week. Refer to special conditions of access on www.chateau-amboise.com
