Where did Leonardo da Vinci spend the last years of his life? Why in Amboise, France. This incredible city on the Loire River is a must see for anyone wanting to visit the best area for French Chateaux. The Chateaux of Amboise has incredible views, the tomb of Leonardo, and period pieces throughout. The Château du Clos Lucé has an incredible collection of Leonardo da Vinci's works. The city also has an incredible food scene and easy access to a number of chateaux in the Loire Valley.

I loved re-living this trip. We had such a great time as a whole family going to Amboise. The grandparents had fun, we had fun, the kids had fun. Really a nice town to visit with plenty to enjoy and you will eat so well there as well.

This is one of my favorite places in France. The chateau is so very interesting and the gardens are impressive. DaVinci is one of those people I'd love to share a dinner with and have a long conversation with him. It has a gorgeous hotel at the base on the chateau facing the river. I wish I could remember the name of it. It will come to me at about 3 a.m. lol.

Thanks Mark. Your video awoke pleasant memories, as I partly grew up in this nice city area. Moreover, each of your already nice videos is still more enjoyed as travels are somewhat discouraged/restricted, when not banned altogether (most of us, even living in France, would not be allowed to go to Amboise at the moment, as we can't go more than 100km from home). I'm looking forward to see you and family travelling again. Stay safe, have fun.

I agree with you, though like any language sometimes people drop the last 25% of a word lol. Having been in France a few times it can happen too.

@@LokiYD yes, I know. I was raised in France. But not in this case. The "e"is very soft, the "s" has a "z" sound, but not completely silent.

I like the Loire Valley a huge amount. But, after the first five chateaux they do blend together. Same for the great cathedrals. Overload. But, a favorite area. On my last trip there I was also in Normandy to see the DDay sites. I was so happy to be there to walk Omaha Beach, see a DDay museum, walk the American Cemetery.
