The Château du Clos Lucé (or simply Clos Lucé) is a small château in the city of Amboise, France. The place is famous for being the official residence of Leonardo da Vinci between 1516 and 1519, when Leonardo died. Clos Lucé is located at 500 metres from the royal Château d'Amboise, to which it is connected by an underground passageway. Built by Hugues d'Amboise in the middle of the fifteenth century, it was acquired in 1490 by Charles VIII of France for his wife, Anne de Bretagne. Later, it was used by Francis I, as well as his sister Marguerite de Navarre, who began writing her book entitled ''L'Heptaméron'' while living there. In 1516, King Francis I of France invited Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise and provided him with the Clos Lucé, then called Château de Cloux, as a place to stay and work. Leonardo, a famous painter and inventor, arrived with three of his paintings, namely the ''Mona Lisa'', ''Sainte Anne'', and ''Saint Jean Baptiste''. Leonardo lived at the Clos Lucé for the last three years of his life, and died there on 2 May 1519. Today, the Clos Lucé is a Leonardo da Vinci museum that reflects the prestigious history of the region and includes forty models of the various machines designed by Leonardo. The museum also includes a copy of the Mona Lisa, painted by himself. ==Gallery== Image:Clos_luce_05.jpg|The chamber of Leonardo da Vinci Image:Clos_luce_06.jpg|The chamber of Marguerite de Navarre Image:ClosLuce03.jpg|The great room Image:ClosLuce08.jpg|The kitchen Image:Clos luce 09.jpg|The paddle wheel Image:Clos luce 08.jpg|The helicopter Image:Clos luce 10.jpg|The two-level bridge Image:Jardin de Léonard 8.jpg|The garden of Leonardo Image:Boulins intérieurs du pigeonnier du Clos Lucé.JPG|Pigeon-holes in the dovecote Image:Engrenages du moulin du Clos Lucé.JPG|The water-mill Image:Jardin_botanique_du_Clos_Lucé.JPG|The botanical garden Image:La_cité_idéale_de_Léonard_de_Vinci.JPG|Exhibitions of drawings by Leonardo in the garden 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clos Lucé」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
