If Le Clos Lucé were told to me...

Le Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci's home, invites you to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of one of history's greatest geniuses. Stepping through the doors of this 15th-century château, you are transported back to the Renaissance era, where each room tells a part of Leonardo's life. The bedroom where he spent his last days, as well as his cabinet of curiosities, allow you to experience the creativity and inspiration that drove him.

In the studios, you will discover reproductions of his iconic works, such as the Mona Lisa and Saint Anne, testifying to his unparalleled talent. The basement houses models of his inventions, created in collaboration with IBM, and 3D videos that highlight his visionary spirit.

Outside, an open-air museum awaits you with some forty translucent canvases and interactive models illustrating Leonardo's sketches, such as the propeller that foreshadowed the helicopter and other innovative flying machines.

Le Clos Lucé offers an immersive experience in his botanical and geological research, with a pond evoking his famous sfumato and a solid oak bridge connecting the banks of the garden.

Finally, thanks to cutting-edge digital technology, an immersive virtual show will immerse you in Leonardo's work. You can admire his masterpieces and see his drawings come to life in a giant fresco, while discovering his architectural and urban planning side through 3D reconstructions.

Le Clos Lucé, hailed by Time magazine as one of the 100 destinations in the world to discover, is a must-see for anyone interested in art and history, and who wishes to explore the exceptional legacy of Leonardo da Vinci.
