About the Experience
Tucked away in Amboise, Château Gaillard is a hidden Renaissance gem. Commissioned by King Charles VIII after his Italian campaigns, it introduced the Italian Renaissance lifestyle to France. With the help of master gardener Dom Pacello, it became home to France's first royal orangery and magnificent landscape gardens.
