Leonardo Da Vinci's genius is far-reaching – find out how he spent the later years of his life in the French Loire Valley. With this pass, you can explore how three castles connect to one of the greatest Renaissance figures of all time.

Château du Clos Lucé

On the ground floor of Château du Clos Lucé, join an immersive show where Da Vinci’s 17 masterpieces are brought together in a single space. You’ll be given the keys to understanding the artist’s process, from his initial sketches to the completed masterpiece.

In the upper gallery, gain a better understanding of Da Vinci’s world outside of art and discover the mind that also worked on civil, religious and military matters. Learn about the architect, town planner, and director of shows. The gallery shines a light on Leonardo’s passion for mathematics and geometry. See his world brought to life through life-size models, digital tables, 3D animations, video games, and more.

Château Royal d'Amboise

Although Château d'Amboise was a royal residence from the 15th to the 19th centuries, construction on the grounds dates back to the 9th century! You can revel in medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture in this enchanting structure that towers over the River Loire.

The château is intrinsically linked to France's history, having hosted tragedy and beauty. It was once the stomping ground of the greatest Renaissance artists, including the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci.

Château de Chambord

In the 16th century, the king delighted in inviting his circle to Château de Chambord, and with a visit, you can understand why – with more than 400 rooms, 77 staircases, 282 fireplaces, and over 200 chimneys, we'd go out on a limb to say that perhaps modesty hadn't been invented yet.

The pièce de résistance has to be the impressive double-spiral staircase which is, with some doubt, accredited to Leonardo da Vinci. Ascend this ancient staircase to see chimneys and sculptures on the terraces, and witness the scenic beauty of the French gardens.
