Hotel Le Blason - Amboise
In the center of town, 900 feet from The Royal Castle and of Leonardo Da Vinci's house, Le Blason welcomes you in a fine XVth and XVIIth house.
It was built around 1490 when the marshes on which Amboise is built were dried out.
It was initially a young girl's boarding school then a laundry. It was then the home of the black smith until the end of the second world war. Deserted for forty years it was restaured from 1990 to become a hotel.
Le Blason has a covered car park, closed at night and we are happy to offer a free internet access in the lobby.
Your hosts, Agnès and Thomas, the hotel owners, will do their best to look after you during your stay. Whether tourist or businessman, whether they stay one night or a week, whether half-board or not, each of our guests is unique.
Enjoy our warm welcome and service. |
