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.

We stopped at Clos Luce as an interesting break in a drive from Ruffec to Paris. It was an excellent decision. Really lovely house and the gardens were great to walk around for a couple of hours. Lots of thought had been put into the presentation. It was quite expensive though.

The chateaux, surroundings and grounds are impressive, but the science and art of DaVinci are phenomenal. The indoor exhibits are illustrative and interesting, and the life size models in the garden are fantastic. There is shade and food concessions on site.
