La Nouvelle République today has a report on the various repairs and work being done on the Château of Amboise, taking advantage of the fact that there are fewer visitors around in the winter months.
'La basse saison touristique est le meilleur moment pour réaliser des travaux. Le château d'Amboise bruisse du travail des ouvriers, entre jardin et remparts.
Les grands échafaudages qui s'élèvent sur le côté sud, au-dessus de la ville, sont révélateurs de l'importance des moyens techniques nécessaires quand il faut réparer, rénover, consolider, sur un édifice comme un château royal. La restauration des remparts sud est en cours d'achèvement.'
The work involves replacing defective stones in the ramparts, work on the gardens as well as improving fire security. Improvements include making parts of the château more accessible to people with reduced mobility and to small children. Work has been going on for six months at a cost of 370,000€.
