We were captivated by the story of an extraordinary character. The château tells the story of the artist, his life, his works and his creations. The château's gardens are a playground for Leonardo da Vinci's imagination, and we're in awe of his work.

We loved walking around the house where Leonardo da Vinci once strolled. A magnificent garden and an interior with a whole section of his work. Thank you

Interesting tour, pleasant park to visit. It's a pity that the guided tour is extra, it would have been a plus for understanding the visit to the chateau. But we made do with the very well-done guidebook. In any case, a visit worth making.

Already accustomed to the visit, it was a lightning revisit with my granddaughters, we discovered the exhibition building created in 2021 which did not exist during previous visits. We missed the night-time presentations. A small downside: when buying tickets on the Le Clos website, there was no discount for students, which was a bit surprising. Otherwise, we were delighted with the visit to the chateau and park, given the heat.

Not too crowded, the park is big enough for people to be well spread out. We had lunch on site (restaurant next to the toilets), it was very good, very welcoming, just a little expensive. Quite interesting visit to the château and garden.

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.
