From Rocamadour to Amboise

On Thursday, we left Rocamadour and traveled about five hours to Amboise, a city in the Loire valley. once we checked into our hotel, we walked to Leonardo di Vincy's estate. Late in Di Vincy's life, we annoyed his patrons in Italy and needed to get out of dodge. Francis I invited him to France and gave him the estate. Di Vincy is buried in the royal chateau at Amboise. at his house they have built a number of full size models of his inventions. The students toured the house and then spent time in the estate gardens.
