Amboise castle and a birthday

One of our party had a birthday on May 16 and we devoted the day to her wishes, which involved everyone enjoying themselves.
 We toured the Amboise château, built by none other than Francois I in 1515 -- the 500th anniversary festivities begin in a few weeks!

The castle was built high on a hill, so the views of Amboise and the Loire were incredible.

Inside the castle, we were drawn the views below.

We, however, were celebrating a mere 50-something anniversaire. The birthday girl had chosen a lovely local restaurant which served us amazing food, and the service was perfect.
