piles of tiles


There are many, many tile roofs in Amboise and this one is quite large and quite impressive.

  2. It reminds me of the roof of the Band B we stayed at on Quai de Marais!

  3. Jean Michel has made special wooden "roofing" ladders to repair any broken tiles on our roofs. The ones on the right of your photo are the traditional ones while the ones on the right are self-blocking and more recent. The old ones are hard to find (and more expensive!). You can see where the old ones have been replaced on the right.

    1. He is a brave man to go up there to make repairs. I'll leave ours to the pros.
