5km from Montignac and a stone’s throw from Thot – Espace Cro-magnon, The gardens of Losse Castle overlook the Vézère. Built on a terrace and labelled “Remarkable Gardens”, they provide a beautiful setting, surrounding the Renaissance château since the 16th century. You are completely at leisure to stroll around the gardens and park and enjoy the exhibitions organised in the towers.
Your stroll will lead you to the “green rooms”, created on terraces with a view over the Vézère. Follow the wisteria arbour to re-join the walkway lined with boxwoods and decorated with roses. In the garden below, rosemary sits alongside lavender while a little stream runs through the topiaries with a variety of aromas. Re-join the park by crossing the dry moat; your children can play in the mini-maze of the bamboo garden. In the stables, a video tells you more about Losse château and its gardens.
