Social day
Wednesday, June 28th
The social day will be dedicated to the visit of the “Châteaux de la Loire”, those emblematic castles that are found all along the Loire valley.
You will first discover the “Clos Lucé” and its Leonardo da Vinci parc. The Clos Lucé is located in the city of Amboise and is the place where Leonardo da Vinci spent three year before passing there.
You will then discover the “Château de Chenonceau”. The history of the Château de Chenonceau is defined by an almost uninterrupted succession of women who built, embellished, protected, restored and saved it. The first château was a medieval château dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, of which only the dungeon remains. The château in its current form was built between 1513 and 1517.
