It was on my bucket list for a while: visit the Castle where Leonardo Da Vinci lived the 3 last years of his very creative life under the protection of king Francois 1er.
Le clos Lucé in Amboise France, is a beautiful place. It was amazing to see the size of Leonardo’s studio, the material he used, his collection of unusual objects and all the machines he invented. Here’s some pictures of our visit. I hope you’ll get the chance to see it in person too one of these days. Until then, Enjoy!
