31. We went to Château d'Amboise, Clos Lucé and Château de Villandry

It was only a day trip but we managed to see these three:

Château d'Amboise:

Clos Lucé: (There is a tunnel that connects Lucé to d'Amboise for DaVinci)

and Villandry. (The gardens were still starting to pop but they were amazing nonetheless)

Have fun! I can't wait to get back there and spend a week!
