What to expect
The Château du Clos Lucé, formerly called Manoir du Cloux, is a large château located in the center of Amboise, in the department of Indre-et-Loire, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. It is located in the natural Val de Loire region and was built by Hugues d'Amboise in 1471. The palace has known several famous owners such as the French king Charles VIII and Leonardo da Vinci. Clos Lucé is 500 meters from the royal Château d'Amboise, to which it is connected by an underground passageway. The château was the summer house of the kings of France for 200 years and was also the residence of Leonardo da Vinci, who spent the last three years of his life there. Today, it is a museum showcasing the life and work of Leonardo da Vinci, with exhibits including a copy of the Mona Lisa and frescos painted by his pupils
