Tour des Minimes, Chateau d'Amboise

Sculpted corbel with coat of arms of the House of Valois, on the cross vaulted ceiling of the interior ramp of the Renaissance Tour des Minimes at the Chateau d'Amboise, a medieval castle of the Loire Valley which became a royal residence in the 15th century and was largely reworked in the 15th and 16th centuries, at Amboise, Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France. The tower has a wide, shallow ramp large enough to allow horses and carriages access to the terrace of the royal residence, situated above the river. The chateau is listed as a historic monument.
