Beautiful little castle where Leonardo da Vinci lived. Some of his artworks and inventions can be admired. Worthwhile.

At first glance, it may seem surprising that a statue was dedicated to the Italian polymath LEONARDO da VINCI (1452 to 1519) here in the French Loire Valley. But you have to know that he spent the last years of his life in the neighboring castle of Le Clos Lucé at the invitation of the French king and died there on May 2, 1519. His grave is believed to be in the Hubertus Chapel - see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/958658 - but it is not certain whether his remains are actually there.

Great view of the castle. Unfortunately it is difficult to get seats in the bar.

Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life here. The museum is really worth seeing. And interesting for young and old. We were there 24 years ago with the children and everything has become more beautiful. The garden with the exhibits is a dream.
