Gardenvisit Editorial

A renaissance castle, built by a courtier of François I. The castle is unchanged since the sixteenth century and a lunette, on the website, shows a renaissance garden on the lines of the present garden. There is a terrace garden with hornbeam hedges and a wisteria tunnel.

Head Gardener's Comment

The charmille green chambers are terraced over the Vézère river.

A wonderful labyrinthine walk leading to a Virgilian view of the country side.

The garden within the walls lead through a wisteria tunnel to a box crenelated and roselined walk to the lower garden with rosemary and lavender patterns and a knot garden.

An architectural garden which satisfies the sight but also charms through scent and colour.

Inspired by XVIth& XVIIth century prints

History

    The gardens of the Chateau de Loss are delightful medieval-style gardens. They include clipped box shapes filled with roses and a clipped rosemary parterre filled with balls of lavender. However the gardens are small and the garden visit soon over.
