Simple booking on Headout. Le Clos Lucé is a must-see! My 6-year-old granddaughter couldn't wait to see Leonardo da Vinci's château, and she thoroughly enjoyed discovering the work of this genius. Enjoy your visit ...

Explore the home of Leonardo da Vinci, the stunning Clos Lucé Castle in the Loire Valley.

Breeze through 800 years of Amboise history and wander the ornate rooms and lush gardens in which the great Renaissance genius lived and worked during his twilight years.

See meticulously reconstructed replicas of some of da Vinci's most well-known inventions, as well as objects from his lifetime, student paintings, and much more.

Fun fact: Although Leonardo is responsible for some of the most innovative inventions and ideas of all time, he never actually went to school.

The Clos Lucé Castle, formerly called Manoir du Cloux, is located in the center of Amboise, France. Built in 1941, this luxurious residence building has been passed on to several famous owners throughout history. While it stands in all its Renaissance glory, decorated royally on the inside, the castle is most popularly known for being Leonardo Da Vinci’s last home. With the invitation of Francis I, Da Vinci moved into the royal French residence in 1516 and went on to spend the last three years of his life here.

Besides a splendid collection of art and sculptures, the castle boasts a wide display of the Italian Maestro’s best inventions. You will be able to witness and take photos of architectural wonders such as The articulated glider, The Tank, The Catapult, The Mechanical Drum, and more. Learn all about his inspirations and his little secrets that you will only find out here, at your own pace! Wrap up your informative, self-guided tour with leisure time at the lush park and gardens, or at your own expense, tickle your taste buds with a delicious meal in one of the 3 restaurants available on site.
