The Loire Belvedere
The Relais’ best-kept secret is its panoramic terrace, nestled within a bucolic landscape near the ramparts of the Royal Château, overlooking the Loire to the west of the Châtelliers oppidum. It can be reached via an outdoor path or through a hidden staircase of nearly 130 steps, carved centuries ago into the Greniers de César.
This terrace is the perfect place to unwind—or simply to enjoy a drink while watching the sun set over the shimmering waters of the Loire.

The landscape echoes the words of the poet Jean de La Fontaine (1621–1695), who wrote while gazing upon the Loire from the towers of the Château d’Amboise:
“What is most beautiful is the view: vast, majestic, of immense expanse; nothing in France seems to limit it…”
A true sense of eternity.
