It’s just my monthly photos of Amboise Castle, as photogenic as usual from Ile d’Or. C’est simplement ma photo mensuelle du château d’Amboise, toujours aussi photogénique, depuis l’Ile d’Or.

Amboise in Red – Amboise en rouge
The Royal Castle of Amboise has a new colour scheme but I’m not that keen. How about you? I’ve added last month’s colours below. Le château royal d’Amboise a pris des couleurs ces derniers jours mais je ne suis pas fan. Et vous ? J’ai rajouté les couleurs du mois dernier ci-dessous.
Rooftops of Amboise – Toits d'Amboise
Most of the photos I take of Amboise are from l’ïle d’Or looking across at the castle. This one is taken from the other side of the Loire and shows the castle from the back. In the foreground you can see a troglodyte house. Presque toutes mes photos d’Amboise sont prises depuis l’Ile d’Or en …
A Corner of Amboise – Un coin d'Amboise

The Cat and the Castle – Le chat et le château
When we arrived at our monthly Loire Connexion anglophile get-together Ile d’Or at in Amboise last night, the light was extraordinary.

Amboise from the Levee – Amboise depuis la levée
My photos of Amboise are usually taken from Le Shaker on Ile d’Or but this one was taken from the levee coming from Vouvray. You can see the water on the footpath. Mes photos d’Amboise proviennent souvent du Shaker sur l’île d’Or mais j’ai pris celle-ci depuis la levée sur le retour de Vouvray. On …
