    Stop to admire this statue of Leonardo da Vinci on the Isle d'Or. Don't forget to turn around and also look behind you to enjoy the view over the Loire to the Château d'Amboise.

      At first glance, it may seem surprising that a statue was dedicated to the Italian polymath LEONARDO da VINCI (1452 to 1519) here in the French Loire Valley. But you have to know that he spent the last years of his life in the neighboring castle of Le Clos Lucé at the invitation of the French king and died there on May 2, 1519. His grave is believed to be in the Hubertus Chapel - see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/958658 - but it is not certain whether his remains are actually there.
