School Trip: Amboise and Clos Lucé—In the Footsteps of Leonardo
A Firsthand Look at the French Renaissance
The Royal Castle of Amboise is a must-see stop on any school trip to the Loire Valley. This visit provides a concrete illustration of the history curriculum for upper elementary and middle school students. Here, students explore Renaissance architecture, the role of Francis I, and court life in the 16th century. The site offers educational booklets and guided tours specifically designed to capture the attention of young visitors.
Le Clos Lucé: Where History and Science Meet
Just a few hundred meters away, the Château du Clos Lucé—Leonardo da Vinci’s final home—offers a multidisciplinary approach. Beyond art history, the life-size models of Leonardo’s inventions (helicopter, tank, drawbridge) scattered throughout the park serve as an exceptional resource for exploring science, technology, and engineering. It’s the perfect place to support Interdisciplinary Practical Learning (EPI).
Easy access from the Domaine des Acacias
Located in La Ville-aux-Dames, the Domaine des Acacias is just a 25-minute bus ride from Amboise. Our accredited lodging facility allows you to make the most of your travel time. With our on-site packed lunches, you can plan a full day on the grounds without any logistical hassles.
