Welcome To Da Vinci's Mansion (2 Hours)

Explore Le Clos Lucé, Leonardo Da Vinci’s former home, filled with real life-size reproductions of Da Vinci’s many fascinating and interactive inventions.

Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci, the famous Italian Renaissance artist/inventor and creator of the world-famous Mona Lisa painting, spent his last years in the Loire Valley and is buried in Amboise?

In the 16th century, Da Vinci was invited the French king Francis I to help him design the Château de Chambord. He was given another nearby château as a home: le Clos Lucé.

Meet your private, fully-licensed guide and let him/her show you around the inventor’s former house. Follow him/her as he/she takes your family through some of the key rooms of the mansion, including Da Vinci’s bedroom, dining room, kitchen and his atelier where he painted some of his masterpieces.

Then, proceed to the basement and gardens, where the real fun awaits. They feature some of Da Vinci’s extraordinary inventions. Your children will be able to play with these life size inventions and understand the genius’ work.

The children will be kept entertained and engaged throughout the visit as they will each get a fun-filled game booklet.
