The brochure described Chambord as, "Castles of Dreams." The description was in no way hyperbolic. The architect was purportedly Leonardo Da Vinci.
If Ambroise were a real-estate listing, "VIEW LOT!" would be apt. The "MANICURED LANDSCAPE!" was a playground for William.
Clos Luce was the residence of Leonardo Da Vinci when he acted as patron architect for Francois the I from 1516-1519. Presumably, to make the manor more homey (manor-y ;-), he brought his own paintings - including the Mona Lisa. We arrived after hours here, but the cleaning lady unlocked the door. William is so charming!
