Clos Lucé Castle

Located in the Loire Valley, Clos Lucé is a well-known mansion in France. Leonardo da Vinci lived here for the last three years of his life. Previously, the Chateau was home to nobility like Francis I and Marguerite de Navarre.

The castle serves as a tribute to da Vinci's life and work, featuring sketches of inventions he envisioned in 1450, including a tank and a helicopter. Strolling through the gardens, visitors can see models of these early inventions.

Clos Lucé Chateau is a must-visit in Amboise, situated less than half a mile from the famous castle, connected by an underground passageway. Visitors can experience the various rooms of Clos Lucé, where da Vinci's iconic painting, the Mona Lisa, was still present at the time of his death.

The first floor of the castle features an immersive show that presents 17 masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci in one setting. The exhibition explores the painting process from drawing to completion, providing deeper insight into da Vinci's work. This new area includes 500 m² of galleries dedicated to models, 3D animations, and video games that engage visitors of all ages in the creative process of the Renaissance master.
