Day 79 - Chateau du Clos Luce, Parc Leonardo da Vinci

After Chenonceau we went to Chateau du Clos Luce, which is technically not a castle, but rather a fancy house where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last 3 years of his life. Most of the house had been destroyed throughout the years, so the current house is really a reproduction and there is not much to see inside other than Leonardo's bedroom. The real highlight is the garden, which is a great place for kids to run around. It contains life-size models of Leonardo's inventions, based on the manuscripts he left behind, which the kids can interact with. I wish we had spent more time there, but when Bella announced that she needed to go to the bathroom "super bad", and that meant walking all the way back to the main house, everybody decided to just call it a day and drive back to the apartment.
