Highlights

Your creative journey begins in the town of Amboise, a place largely unchanged for five centuries. Its timber-framed streets, historic architecture, and scenic riverbanks serve as both your subject and your classroom. Here, you will learn to perceive the world with a photographer’s eye, honing your skills in composition and light. As you immerse yourself in the town's atmosphere, you'll experiment with everything from intricate textures to expansive landscapes, creating a unique visual diary of your exploration. The tour continues at the Royal Château, where you will refine the art of visual storytelling. Beyond simply capturing images, you will discover how to convey emotion and narrative through your lens. By observing subtle patterns and moments that often go unnoticed, you will learn to capture the true essence of this historic site. Each click of the camera brings you closer to becoming an expressive photographer, turning the beauty of Amboise into a masterclass in perspective.

About Tours

Tours is a calm university city on the Loire in central France, with a medieval quarter, a Gothic cathedral and Renaissance châteaux close by.

Tours stands between the Loire and the Cher, in Indre-et-Loire, and is the main city of the Touraine. The medieval centre round Place Plumereau is packed with half-timbered houses and café terraces, and the Gothic cathedral of Saint-Gatien has tall stained-glass windows and twin towers topped with Renaissance domes. Saint Martin, bishop of Tours in the 4th century, is honoured in a basilica built on the site of his tomb.
