To think that the great man gazed through this window -- as we did -- was thrilling.

November 2012 trip to France: Amboise -- Da Vinci's garden
Leonardo da Vinci (April 15, 1452-May 2, 1519) spent the last three years of his life in France at the invitation of his friend King Francis I. They were reportedly very happy years, though spent in exile from his native Italy. We visited his house in Amboise, the Clos Luce manor house.

Silke patiently translated French sign after sign for Noah, who was eager to learn as much as possible about his hero.
