Take a tour of Amboise Chateau in Amboise, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.



The Amboise Chateau is a grand castle with a rather spotty, but interesting, history.



It was first built in the eleventh century in order to control a nearby ford.



King Charles the 7th seized it in 1434 after its owner was convicted of treason.



Once in the hands of the French kings, it was enlarged and rebuilt.



By 1500, the Amboise Chateau was as it is today, an elaborate and majestic castle.



During the French Wars of Religion, another plot was discovered and the French Court left Amboise.



The sense of history and importance is rich about the chateau and its scenic surroundings.
