Le Clos Lucé – Leonardo da Vinci

Highlight • Castle

The Château du Clos Lucé was the summer residence of several kings of France, until François I placed it at the disposal of Lénoard de Vinci who lived there for 3 years, until his death in 1519.
Today the Château du Clos Lucé showcases all the genius of Leonardo da Vinci through a permanent exhibition retracing and explaining many discoveries and inventions of Italian genius. The park is very pretty and can also be visited. Bike parking is available inside the park.

Several pretty traditional wooden sailboats are installed at the port of Chaumont-sur-Loire. It is possible during sunny days to take a trip on these small boats with the Milliere Raboton association: milliere-raboton.net. The port is ideally located near the Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire.

June 10, 2025,5e etappe VAL naar Tours en weer lek

Blois out again. Was there any venom today and if so where was it? Today was (so far) the most beautiful and varied ride. The past few days it was a bit of the same, lots of gravel, lots of forest and dikes. A bit like cycling along the Maas/Waal. But now some very nice parts. Via several smaller villages …

My impression yesterday that you only get to see the Loire occasionally on the Loire Cycle Path should be reinforced today. But that doesn't make the cycle path bad, on the contrary, it makes it more interesting and varied than a pure riverside tour.
It had rained heavily during the night, so you had to drive carefully on some of …

Tours Les Acacias doesn't accept tents, although it still states so online. Camping Montlouis-sur-Loire accepts tents, and the site is nice and shady.
