When in Porto, Eat, Eat, Eat
A couple of years ago, while researching my Portugal guidebook, I explored the crusty old industrial city of Porto. There I joined tour guide André Apolinário on one of his Taste Porto food tours: I raved about André’s tour in my guidebook listing, and that experience (as much as any other) inspired me to come back now with the TV crew and shoot a new show on the heartland of Portugal.
André saved a morning just for our crew to film his food tour. We scrambled to find four other tourists who would join the tour while we stopped and started it during three hours of filming. We had a great time — with camera rolling — eating our way through Porto. Anywhere in Europe these days — in fact, almost anywhere in the world — you can enjoy a fun and experiential education about a culture on a food tour. When in Porto, André’s tours are worth planning for. This clip shows us on the last of five stops, with three tasty plates: chicken gizzards stewed in tomatoes and chili peppers; octopus salad; and smoked ham that's been aged 24 months.
(This is Day 39 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I travel with Rick Steves’ Europe Tours, research my guidebooks, and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences in Italy, Portugal, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, and more. Follow along at

Château d’Amboise • A Royal Residence of the Kings of France for 200 Years
We drive to Amboise on the banks of the Loire, where we visit the Royal Château d’Amboise, a royal residence of the Kings of France for 200 years.
Amboise is a bustling little town, most often visited for its imposing royal Château d'Amboise, built in the 15th century and the first structure in France to reflect the influence of the Italian Renaissance. Charles VIII, France's first Renaissance king, built his château on a rocky spar separating the valleys of the Loire and Amasse. Amboise became the residence of the queen and her children. Catherine de Medici loved Amboise and lived there.
The River Cher
The River Cher was first canalized and used for navigation beginning in the 1830's. The 34-mile portion of the river that is still navigable today uses 14 locks to go from Larçay, just east of Tours, to Noyers-sur-Cher at the junction with the restored portion of the Canal de Berry.
The Cher crosses a broad valley bordered by gentle hills. The barge route passes through the heart of the Loire Valley, taking travelers through lovely countryside with picturesque villages, historical attractions, and spectacular châteaus, including Chenonceau.
The Loire Valley
The spectacular Loire Valley and its main tributary, the River Cher, have carried cargo and passengers for over 2000 years, since pre-Roman times as it winds through sandbanks to the Atlantic Ocean. The Valley of the Kings is a timeless region of spectacular beauty and grace and we are delighted to offer the only hotel barge cruising through its heart.
The Loire Valley is as rich in legend as it is in beauty; here the aristocracy of France have built their castles and palaces over the centuries and you will realise that, fortunately, little has changed. Talk to a cheesemaker and find out why his is the most famous goat’s cheese in France. Wind your way through the narrow streets of a centuries-old village, perhaps discovering hidden shops with hand-painted pottery, or stumble across an open market on your own.
Hotel Barge Nymphea
Nymphea’s Dutch design with its shallow draft makes her the ideal vessel for navigating the beautiful sandy reaches of the River Cher in the Loire Valley. No other hotel barge cruises this magical waterway.
Her traditional interior, reminiscent of a classic yacht, features a warm décor of rich varnished hardwoods, stained glass and shining brass. The traditionally furnished saloon and dining area have a warm and welcoming country house atmosphere and there is an additional upper saloon area with more comfortable seating to relax in. Nymphea has three compact, but comfortable cabins, two twin staterooms and one twin or double stateroom, all with air conditioning and en-suite facilities.
Outside, the sun deck offers the perfect vantage point from which to admire the next picturesque waterside village, elegant chateau, or stunning stretch of scenery as it slowly comes into view. You will even get to cruise through the arches of probably the most-photographed château in the Loire Valley, Château de Chenonceau – not once, but twice – a rare privilege afforded to very few boats!
And if you wish to explore the River Cher’s towpath and surrounding countryside, there are 6 bicycles available for your use.
Nymphea’s crew of Captain/Tour Leader and Master Chef are most knowledgeable about the history, wine and cuisine of the region and they will be there to help make your journey through the ‘Valley of the Kings of France’ truly unforgettable.
What is Hotel Barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especially on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
France’s Loire: Château Country
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Along the Loire River Valley, the beautiful French countryside is studded with evocative châteaux. Home-basing in Amboise, we visit four unique castles: elegant Chenonceau, massive Chambord, stately Cheverny, and fragrant Villandry. Along the way, we tour Leonardo’s home, feed hunting dogs, enjoy the local cuisine, and savor a princely garden. | © 2014 Rick Steves' Europe

0:30 ✔︎ TOUR STOP 1: INSIDE THE AMBOISE FARMER'S MARKET
Where else to better experience 100% local food than at a farmer's market? The one in Amboise is only open every Friday and Sunday morning, so I decided to go over and take you on a market tour with me!
In addition to the wide variety of ingredients available at the farmer's market in Amboise, I noticed there were a lot of vegetables and plants that we don't have in Taiwan. Of course, what impressed me the most was still the rich selection of French cheese and ham! To serve them with some fresh baguette? I bet you won't be able to resist! (See the cheese and ham stands at 1:17!)
(Explore our vintage house in Amboise! ➮
On my way to the town center from the farmer's market, I passed by a baguette vending machine. It costs 1€ for a regular-size baguette. It doesn't taste the freshest to be honest, but has a better quality than a lot of the baguettes available here in Taiwan already! (Check it out at 2:37 in the video!)
2:48 ✔︎ TOUR STOP 2: CHATEAU STREETS FOR SHOPPING AND DINING
The town center of Amboise is right next to Château d'Amboise. There are a lot of cafés, restaurants and all kinds of small shops among the alleys. My favorite spot is a local crepe restaurant called Restaurant Creperie Anne de Bretagne next to the entrance to Château d'Amboise. They make amazing crepes, both savory and sweet ones!

???????? FUN FACTS ABOUT AMBOISE FRANCE:
1. Amboise is located in central France and considered a small tourist town in the Loire Valley. The population in Amboise is only at around 12,000 people (data circa 2009).
2. Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots, used to reside in the famous local castle, Château d'Amboise, for 13 years since she was 6 years old. (Check out Château d'Amboise at 3:26 in the video!)
3. Besides the royal families, Leonardo da Vinci also lived in Amboise in his last years. His residence is called Clos Lucé where some of his inventions are still preserved on site to this day. Nowadays, Clos Lucé is a museum/park open to the public. They also offer wedding venues for rent and catering services.
4. The French king, Francis I, was raised in Amboise and spent his early ruling days at Château d'Amboise. In 1515, Francis I invited Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise as a guest resident to work at Clos Lucé and eventually accompanied the great artist to the last moments by his death bed.

On the occasion of D-Day commemoration ceremonies, the Queen of England is paying an official state visit in France and will be attending a banquet as the guest of honor at the official residence of the President of the Republic of France, the Elysée Palace. This documentary film will describe the event from the kitchens of power, the true vitrine of French gastronomy which has been on Unesco's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2010. We will follow the work of the teams of the famous chef Guillaume Gomez, from the conception of the menus to the selection of products with the best French producers as well as the installation of the reception hall. A true challenge for a prestigious guest.
