Leonardo da Vinci's last residence - now a shrine to the knowledge and inventions of this Renaissance genius.

The Château du Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci's last home, and its park bring together, in a single place and for the first time, the art and multiple visions of the Tuscan creative genius. Stroll as you please through this “knowledge” park and explore the world of Leonardo. Watch as the ideas and intuitions of Leonardo da Vinci – by turns civil and military engineer, botanist and architect of genius – take shape before your eyes.
Inside the Château du Clos Lucé : the everyday life of Leonardo da Vinci and his 40 fabulous machines. It was here at the Château du Clos Lucé that Leonardo da Vinci, at the invitation of the King of France Francis I, spent the last three years of his life, putting the finishing touches to his inventions before passing away on 2 May 1519.

In the Landscaped Itinerary : a voyage of discovery in the company of Leonardo da Vinci and his disciple. Discover the wellsprings of Leonardo's inspiration in the course of an initiatory journey punctuated by 16 giant and actionable machines, 32 transparent canvases (3 to 4 m high) depicting the Master's sketches or details of his paintings, and 8 sound stations featuring the voice of the celebrated French actor Jean Piat.
In the hall : a Leonardo de Vinci “stage design”, a giant picture show and the flying machine.
Located in the middle of the Landscaped Itinerary, the Hall is designed to give us an insight into the world of Leonardo da Vinci.
