While in Montbard on Sunday everything is closed.\u00a0 In a tourist town like Amboise everything is open because it is a big tourist day.\u00a0 As soon as we left the apartment the city was alive with people in the streets.\u00a0 Most of them going to or from the “Market”.\u00a0 The Amboise market is HUGE.\u00a0 While markets like this in the states are used primarily for small farmers to get their good s to the public.\u00a0 The Market in Amboise is a way for entreprenuers of all kinds to get all kinds of goods to consumers.\u00a0 You can buy any kind of food you want,\u00a0 Also anything from hats to jackets or pants.\u00a0 Bunny even noted that one booth reminded her of the dollar tree.\u00a0 There was also a booth selling womans sexy lingerie (insert joke here).\u00a0 I would estimate that the market went on for 6 blocks and there were 2 aisles with booth on both sides.<\/p>\n

We later learned that we could have got a chicken for 5 euros and cooked it ourselves.\u00a0 But we couldn’t remember if our place had an oven or not ….<\/p>\n

We got back to the apartment with our goodies … pigged out for an hour and\u00a0 then made our way over to the castle.\u00a0 Our plan was to walk around the castle and then go to the Leonardo Davinci house.\u00a0 We got down town and learned they were hosting a running race for all ages.\u00a0 We spent part of the day watching the activity.<\/p>\n

The Leonardo Davinci house was just a short walk from downtown.\u00a0 Along the way we ran into dwellings called troglodytes homes.\u00a0 These kinds of homes are famous in France.\u00a0 They are homes built into the side of a cliff.<\/p>\n

We got to the Leonardo Davinci home and it was facinating.\u00a0 It was full of history, stories, and examples of his inventions.<\/p>\n
