“I had kissed my share of men…Jamie, though, was something different. His extreme gentleness was in no way tentative; rather it was a promise of power known and held in leash; a challenge and a provocation the more remarkable for its lack of demand. I am yours, it said. And if you will have me, then…I would, and my mouth opened beneath his…” ~outlander~

In the great hall, Leonardo da Vinci would receive and entertain guests- notably the King of France, Francois 1st, important persons of the kingdom and other artists.
Items of note: All of the furnishings date from the Renaissance. To the right of the fireplace, a portion of one of the first Tournai tapestries from the 15th century, a bust of Francois 1st in armor, Spanish Renaissance chairs upholstered in Cordoba leather, hanging on the wall: two halberds and a tinel, and 16th century carved wood chests used for storing clothing.
