Full description

Learn about the history of Leonardo da Vinci and his masterpieces (including the Mona Lisa) during his time in France at the Château du Clos Lucé. Invited by King Francis 1st of France, Leonardo da Vinci left Italy and took up residence at the Château du Clos Luce in the autumn of 1516. Appointed "first painter, engineer and architect to the King", Da Vinci served the monarch with his talents, working tirelessly on numerous projects and imagining plans for the "ideal château". With this admission ticket, you will receive access to both the castle and park. The visit will begin in the bedroom of Leonardo da Vinci, the site where Leonardo died in 1519 at the age of 67. From the window, you can see the Saint Hubert Chapel at the Royal Castle of Amboise, which is the burial place of Da Vinci. Whilst in the Leonardo da Vinci Park, you will learn about the artistic creations and major inventions of the artist. You will enter the imaginary world of Da Vinci, seeing the world as he did in these unique grounds.

Very interesting visit. Residence on a human scale which allows you to appreciate the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Well-made children's booklet that holds you in suspense until the exit. Restaurant near the very pleasant water wheel. Informative walk in the gardens and immersive show perfect to end an enriching day.

I went the 1st time with the county council for free, I liked it so much, that I took my daughter and my grandchildren during the All Saints holidays (12 years old, 10 years old and 6 years old) I admired absolutely everything, even the bouquets made of fresh flowers, the Genie's painting studio; the hologram of L da Vinci talking with a noble traveler, all the inventions represented with exceptional models! The gardens ! And the store! I'm sure I'll go back even alone, for the joy of enjoying this genius again!

Avoid during a Covid period, it is a place where we want to linger over an object, and not to move forward all at the same pace On the other hand, this is the 2nd time that we go it is very interesting and , the park is very pleasant and exciting for children and adults
