Historic 18th-century hotel offering rooms with views, a private spa, and a garden-side pool
### A Charming Retreat in the Heart of Amboise
Au Charme Rabelaisien, a distinguished and historic hotel, awaits you in the heart of Amboise, a city steeped in royal history and brimming with cultural significance. This enchanting property boasts an enviable location, situated mere moments from the final resting place of the legendary Leonardo da Vinci. Guests will find themselves perfectly positioned for exploring the area’s rich heritage, with several magnificent medieval castles easily accessible within a comfortable walking distance.
A truly unmissable attraction, offering a delightful escape into nature, is L’Ile d’Or. Just a short, 13-minute jaunt from the hotel, this island sanctuary presents verdant green spaces that invite relaxation and contemplation, all while providing picturesque panoramic views of the beautiful Amboise skyline. The pleasant stroll to L’Ile d’Or also presents opportunities to discover other notable and historically significant sites. Keep an eye out for Tour Garçonnet, a fascinating historical landmark, and of course, the breathtaking Château Royal d’Amboise, a majestic testament to French royalty and architectural prowess. Should you be inclined to take a slight detour, the Chapelle Saint-Hubert, a stunning Gothic chapel celebrated as Da Vinci’s burial site, is an absolute must-see.
Inside Au Charme Rabelaisien, each of the ten individually designed rooms offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Every room is carefully curated to create a warm and inviting ambience, promising a restful and rejuvenating stay. The city-facing rooms, bathed in natural light, feature pristine white walls and crisp white bedding, creating a sense of serenity and calm. These rooms are further enhanced with elegant gold elements, adding a touch of opulence and sophistication. Royal period furniture lends a historical charm, while carefully selected impressionist paintings adorn the walls, adding an artistic flair. Exposed wooden beams grace the ceilings, while French ceiling design and exquisite wooden paneling evoke a vintage feel, seamlessly blending with modern sensibilities.
For guests seeking a more minimalist aesthetic, the Prestige Rooms offer a refined and understated elegance. Alternatively, those desiring a heightened level of luxury can opt for the Executive Room, complete with a charming attic roof and subtly placed pops of color. Both the Prestige Rooms and the Executive Room offer captivating views of the impressive castles that punctuate the Amboise skyline. The rooms that boast private terraces offer a bold and vibrant aesthetic, featuring striking greens or purples while remaining loyal to the hotel’s signature whitewalls and bedding. These rooms are more generously proportioned, providing ample space for relaxation, and offer delightful views of the shimmering swimming pool and the meticulously landscaped garden.

France has long been one of the world's most celebrated destinations, and with good reason. Whether you prioritize art and architecture, haute cuisine, or adventures in the great outdoors, France is a country that boasts exquisite options for any traveler.
When is the best time to visit?
The ideal time to visit France depends on where you'll be spending your time. France's Mediterranean coast is warm for most of the year, while Northern France and the Atlantic coast have wetter, less predictable weather. If you're interested in wine, time your trip to coincide with the grape harvest in Autumn. No matter when you visit, keep in mind that most French people vacation in-country, meaning big crowds during France's national holidays.
Where should I go in France?
You'll likely arrive in Paris, a legendary metropolis with enough museums, cultural landmarks, bistros, and boulangeries to keep you busy for weeks. But France offers even more to travelers than its romantic capital city lets on. Visit the lavender fields and hillside villages of Provence, check out the glitzy galleries and beaches of the French Riviera, or sample some of the world's most celebrated wines in regions like charming Burgundy or the castle-laden Loire Valley.
How many days do I need?
Whether you have two days or two months, France holds more than enough variety in its landscape and regional delights to fill any itinerary. If your only stop is Paris, you can get away with as few as three days, though you could easily spend much more time exploring. If you have a specific region in mind that you'd like to see in-depth, plan for at least a week. Or, spend multiple weeks road tripping through the mountains, vineyards, coastline, and cities of this remarkably versatile country—the sky is truly the limit.
Getting Around France
An extensive network links many French cities and towns, and travel by train is an efficient way to see the country. Self-driving is good for exploring regions like Provence, Normandy, and the Loire Valley in more depth. And to cover large distances quickly, domestic flights connect major cities with most journeys taking about an hour
