Tourist information about Amboise
|
Amboise is one of the cities of the Val de Loire region with the most ancient history because of its particular geographic location. The large island (Ile d'Or, formerly called Ile St-Jean because of the Chapel St-Jean on the island) separates the Loire into two branches in front of the city. This made crossing the Loire River easier here than in other places. Another important attribute of the location is the abrupt rise of the Plateau des Châteliers that dominates the fork of the Loire and Amasse rivers, creating a natural protection and an ideal spot for the construction of a fortification. For these reasons the Turons, the ancestors of the inhabitants of Touraine, lived here from the 1st century B.C. At the end of the Roman Empire in 503, the Ile d'Or was the meeting place for the encounter of Clovis and the Francs and Alaric, chief of the Wisigoths, who signed a peace treaty here that lasted only a short time. ...
