Clos Lucé Castle

Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life in this historic building, previously home to nobility like Francis I and Marguerite de Navarre. The castle honors da Vinci’s life, showcasing sketches of inventions from 1450, such as a tank, siege bridge, and helicopter, which predate their realization by centuries.
