Château de Losse

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 leads 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.
