It was a wonderful experience! Mark Playle, our guide, made our whole visit in Amboise so much more meaningful and interesting. He showed us things we would otherwise have missed or overlooked. By the time we were done, I was visualizing what it would be like to live in Amboise, not only in the past but also in the present. My husband, who is an artist who sometimes paints from photos from our travel, felt a strong bonding to Mark, who is a professional photographer and artist.
