The Ninomaru Garden lies at the southern base of Mount Katsuyama and comprises the former site of the second circle of defense (Ninomaru). More comfortably accessible from the city than the main circle of defense (Honmaru) at the top of the mountain, the Ninomaru served as the site of the castle palace where the lord's residence and offices were located.
None of the palace buildings survive today. Instead, the Ninomaru has been converted into a park that preserves the floor plan and layout of the former castle palace with elevated foundations, green spaces and ponds.

My wife wanted a down day so she sent me off again. I went to the city of Blois - nice choice. Blois is much bigger than Amboise with more to see - and a lot more hills to climb, as my body soon found out. My goal was the Royal Chateau of Blois. This is a castle famous for it four distinct architectural style (including Gothic, Renaissance, and Classical). It was built from the 13th to 17th centuries and served as a residence for a number of French kings and queens. This chateau was pretty impressive.
From there I did some aimless wandering around the old city - very cool houses and old churches - and steep hills, but it was worth it.
