Clos Lucé, Amboise, France
Next up on our short tour of places in the Loire Valley was Clos Lucé in Amboise. In 1516, King Francis I of France invited Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise to live and work and provided him with the Clos Lucé, then called Château de Cloux. He died there in 1519.

Reflection
Now I will show some photos from outside the Château de Chenonceau. The gardens are amazing, both impeccably groomed in the front, and "working" gardens off to the side.
