St. Pierre-des-Corps to Amboise?
 
It doesn't look as though there are trains from St. Pierre-de-Corps to Amboise. Does anyone know if there is bus service?

There are frequent trains to Amboise from Tours. There are many ways to get from St Pierre de Corps to neighboring Tours.

There are frequent trains from St Pierre de Corps to Amboise. I have often taken these trains. Many of them are the new single unit (passenger compartment / operator) TER trains. The trip takes about 15 minutes. Copy and paste this long url into your browser address line to check out trains.

Thanks all! Looks like we're taking the train. Now, would the cost of this train from St. Pierre to Amboise be included with a rail pass? Excuse my ignorance, we're first timers when it comes to Europe , rail passes, etc.

Yes. Your rail pass will cover this trip but don't waste a travel day of your pass for just this short trip. Remember that to be worthwhile your trip costs should exceed about $70 per day (depending on the type of pass you have) or it is better to buy a point to point ticket. One pass day covers all your train rides for that day. You can make several train rides in a day and still use up just one pass day. On days that you will make only one short trip you are better off buying a point to point ticket and saving your pass days for the most expensive trips.
