アンボワーズ城
Since 1840, the Château d'Amboise has been listed as a "monument historique" by the French Ministry of Culture. King Louis-Philippe began restoring it during his reign but with his abdication in 1848, the château was confiscated by the government. The captive Emir Abd Al-Qadir, who resisted the French colonisation of Algeria, and an entourage of family and retainers were transferred to Château d'Amboise in November 1848. In 1852 an article in "Bentley's Miscellany" noted that before Abd Al-Qadir took up residence in the château, it had frequently been visited by tourists.
