Visitor guide
Château du Clos Lucé visitor guide — everything you need to know before visiting
The Château du Clos Lucé – Parc Leonardo da Vinci, in the town of Amboise in the Loire Valley, was Leonardo da Vinci's final home. François I brought the artist to Amboise in 1516 and gave him the manor, a few hundred metres from the royal château and, by tradition, linked to it by an underground passage. Leonardo lived and worked here until his death in 1519. Today the Renaissance rooms are restored as he would have known them, and a seven-hectare park holds full-scale working models of his inventions, with audio stations and a free augmented-reality app — making it the most hands-on château in the Loire and a favourite with families.
