An Amboise to Paris transfer is not something you’ll want to miss out on if it's in the cards for you this year. So, if you’re busy planning in advance or are packing at the last minute to hop in a car and get to Paris, you need to know all you can. That’s why we’ve shared a few travel tips for this route, which will greatly help. <show-more>

Beware of the peak season

Timing is vital when you want to visit Paris. It's a beautiful city year-round, but summer is when it shines with outdoor markets, festivals, and lots of things to do.

Unfortunately, many others know this to be true too, so this season can be uncomfortably crowded, and attractions, transport, and restaurants fare exorbitantly priced. So keep this in mind when booking an Amboise to Paris transfer.

Swap out stylish shoes for comfortable ones

When traveling from Amboise to Paris, it can be easy to wear your most stylish clothing. After all, Paris is seen as one of the most fashionable European cities, and by default, so are the places near it.

However, we strongly advise against it. Looking good is not going to be kind to your feet. With cobblestone streets in your future and lots of walking between attractions and even in the outdoors, depending on where you stop along the way, swapping fancy shoes for comfortable ones is the best idea.

Don’t get scammed

Scammers in Paris can be inventive, so when you finish traveling from Amboise to Paris and get to the city, don’t be swindled. Scammers often come up to you and try the ‘gold ring’ scam, where they try to sell you a gold ring for a low price after asking if you have lost one.

Often, if you buy it thinking it is a good deal, you’ll be saddened to learn it's a fake. Then there are the ‘environmental petitions’. Unfortunately, these are often fake as scammers simply try to get you to buy various items for a ‘good cause’ when the cause doesn’t exist, and they get your money.

From Amboise to Paris by train

Train trips from Amboise to Paris are offered several times daily with companies like SNCF, TGV, and Intercities. For many travelers, trains are convenient because they are fast and comfortable. They often provide numerous amenities like viewing decks, access to passing by pretty scenery, lots of legroom, and onboard food.

Although this is true, trains can also have their fair share of drawbacks. For example, they are not as cheap as you might think. The ticket price ranges between $20 and $50 (€18-€46) or more depending on the class of ticket you buy. In addition, not every train line will offer attractive amenities, and the cheaper your ticket is, the less likely you are to have access to them.

In addition, train travel along this route can take between an hour and a half and two hours, which is similar to car travel without sightseeing benefits. So these are things you’ll need to consider.

From Amboise to Paris by bus

Bus travel from Amboise to Paris is not as popular as train travel. However, if you're feeling stingy or are on a budget and want to spend more money on sightseeing along the way and in the city, it's worth considering.

Two bus lines offer services, Flixbus and BlaBlaBus. Trip lengths are usually three to four hours. This isn’t too bad for some, but if you want to complete a day trip, it might not be ideal. Cost-wise, tickets are between $10 and $20 (€9-€18)—affordable, right?—but be prepared for potentially crowded cabins, uncomfortable seating, and no sightseeing.

From Paris to Amboise by private car transfer service

If you want to complete an Amboise to Paris transfer with Daytrip, you can't go wrong with a private car transfer. Unlike other private car services and taxis, Daytrip offers an affordable all-inclusive fee and the opportunity to sightsee.

When you drive with Daytrip, you can enjoy a door-to-door service and customized travel times. You will also have access to a professional English-speaking driver who will do more than handle your luggage.

On average, driving with Daytrip will take about two and a half hours, and the ticket or booking price is about $86 (€79). </show-more>

Things to do when you get to Paris

Paris has many unique, beautiful, and downright breathtaking attractions. There's always something to do in this romantic city. So it's unsurprising that you might be having a little trouble deciding what exactly to do in the city. So, to help you with your Amboise to Paris trip planning, we’ve discussed a few things to see and do in the city that will undoubtedly be memorable.

<show-more>

Arc de Triomphe

Paris has its fair share of exciting locations to visit, so the Arc de Triomphe might not be on your radar, but it should be if you’re interested in architecturally pleasing structures and history.

The Arc de Triomphe is a large monument that honors French soldiers and generals who valiantly and bravely gave their lives during the horrific Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution that ravaged France centuries ago.

Best of all, it won't be too far out of your way to add to your travel itinerary if you’re planning a visit to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Also, if its structure and history aren’t enough to hook you, it might be more appealing to visit after you learn that there is an eternal flame lit to honor these courageous men who couldn’t be named. There is also an observation deck if you want to pay a fee to look at parts of the city.

Luxembourg Gardens

Gardens might not be everyone's idea of an exciting attraction, especially when it comes to Paris, but we promise you won't regret taking time out to visit the Luxembourg Gardens. These gorgeously picturesque gardens were established in the early 17th century by Marie de Medici – a member of the prominent Medici family who played a role in Paris’s influence.

It is believed that Medici modeled the gardens after the Pitti Palace in Florence. Over the centuries, it has undergone significant changes, but the gardens have remained true to their original layout, and many of the legendary features are still in place.

So when you visit, expect to view beautiful historic statues, picturesque landscaping that will leave you in awe, and a gloriously peaceful atmosphere that will make you wonder if you need to plan a nature escape next.

Latin Quarter

In Paris, neighborhoods have strange names and often more than one. One such instance is the Latin Quarter, also known as the 5th arrondissement. This quarter or neighborhood is one of the best to visit in the city if you want to explore one of Paris’s oldest neighborhoods.

A wander through this city will have you interacting with quaint cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and unique and lively cafes, shops, and restaurants. So, if possible, plan to spend an hour or two—minimum—in this quarter to see why it's one of the most charming places to tour in Paris. </show-more>

When is the best time to visit Paris?

Before traveling from Amboise to Paris, remember that the best times to visit are April to June and October to early November. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and tourist crowds are thinner, making your trip more enjoyable than it would be during the peak summer season. We know it's tempting, but summer is just too crowded some years, and it might not enable you to make happy memories of the city.

If you can't travel during these months, consider visiting in spring, between March and May. The temperatures are comfortable, hotel prices are reasonable, and the crowds are less busy. However, if you’re on a strict budget—and we know Paris isn’t cheap—the cheapest time to visit Paris is from early December to the end of February. While winters in Paris can be harsh, this off-season period offers lower prices if you don’t mind the cold and bundling up while contending with moodier weather conditions.
