I am going to begin my blog by posting a representative photo for each month of the year over the next twelve days with some of my favorite shots. This "calendar series" will provide an overview of Amboise and why I love it so much.
This inaugural post includes two icons of Amboise architecture: the château which was the home to kings of France during the 15th and 16th centuries, and the bridge General LeClerc of World War II fame. The château sits on high ground above the center of town and the Loire river and thus is the first thing tourists see on entering over the bridge.
And speaking of icons, I also want to express my thanks to the CDP master, Eric Tenin, for inspiring me to do this blog, for helping me to adapt to French technology, and for being my friend !
Bien fait! Congratulations on the beautiful blog.
