"Le domaine-royal de Château-Gaillard, voulu par Charles VIII à son retour de la première guerre d'Italie, se situe à Amboise dans le Val de Loire. Comprenant notamment un logis-royal comptant parmi les châteaux de la Loire, il s’étend au pied du flanc méridional de l’éperon des Châteliers sur lequel est érigé le château d'Amboise, à proximité du Clos-Lucé.

Le domaine de Château-Gaillard fut un « laboratoire » de la Renaissance française : premier jardin d'acclimatation en France avec notamment la création de la première orangerie royale française, premier jardin de la Renaissance française créé par dom Pacello da Mercogliano avec la réalisation de la première perspective paysagère axiale et des premiers parterres « à la française », première transposition française de l’architecture de la Renaissance italienne incarnée par les villas des Médicis à Florence. Le logis royal de Château-Gaillard a fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques en 1963. Au terme de quatre ans de restauration, le domaine a été ouvert au public en 2014."
