Full description
Get ready for an exciting day full of history and discovery as we explore two jewels of the Loire Valley: Amboise and Clos Lucé. We will meet at the Tours tourist office 15 minutes before departure, where you will be met by your driver.
Departure at 9.30 AM for a 30-minute drive to Amboise, following the banks of the Loire River. There, you will discover the Clos Lucé, the magnificent pink brick and limestone manor where Leonardo da Vinci lived the last 3 years of his life. A man of great intelligence and multiple talents, he was at once a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, musician, poet and scientist. Visiting the Clos Lucé, we realise that his visionary eye was 4 centuries ahead of his time.
After our visit to Clos Lucé, we will head to Amboise, a 15-minute drive through the forest of Amboise. There, we will explore the Château de Amboise, built on a limestone cliff overlooking the town. This castle has witnessed numerous fortifications and defensive fortresses since Gallo-Roman times. In the 16th century, it became the royal residence of Kings Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I. These three kings made numerous changes to the architecture, enlarging and embellishing the castle, and marking the transition between the Gothic period and the beginning of the Renaissance.
After enjoying the history and beauty of Amboise, we will make our way back to Tours, which will take about 30 minutes.
We will return to Tours around 1 PM, where your driver will drop you off at the Tours tourist office.
