About Château du Clos Lucé
The Château du Clos Lucé is a 15th-century manor house where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life, from 1516 until his death on May 2, 1519. King Francis I invited the 64-year-old artist to France, granting him the title "First Painter, Engineer and Architect to the King" along with a pension of 700 gold écus per year. The château interior preserves Leonardo's bedroom, a Renaissance great hall, period kitchens, and a chapel with frescoes attributed to his pupils.

Leonardo brought three of his paintings to France on muleback across the Alps: the Mona Lisa, the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, and Saint John the Baptist. After his death, King Francis I acquired all three. They remain in France to this day — the Mona Lisa has hung in the Louvre ever since.
