Beautiful little castle where Leonardo da Vinci lived. Some of his artworks and inventions can be admired. Worthwhile.

Did you know: During the First World War, the castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers by its owner, Simonne Menier (of the Menier chocolate family). – Long rows of camp beds lined the large gallery above the Cher River. – More than 2,000 wounded were reportedly cared for within the castle walls. A bizarre contrast: the ornate Renaissance halls as a place for bandages, operations, and recovery.

Today the chateau functions as a hotel/restaurant – nice surroundings, good food, very friendly staff, and still at acceptable prices.

The Cher River bike path is fun. However, in some places it's more of a single track, requiring concentration and avoiding many potholes.
