Château de Losse

They are located in Périgord, Dordogne district,[1] South-West of France, near the Lascaux pre-historic caves, on the Vézère river.

Inside the décor and the period furnishings bear witness to the grand lifestyle of the Marquess Jean II de Losse in the 16th century.

Additionally, the Michelin Green Guide awards the site two stars ("worth the detour") The Losse family came from Flanders in the 11th century and subsequently built a stronghold on the right bank of the Vézère.

The Hall was built in 1576 inside the medieval fortress by Jean II Marquis de Losse.

Since, however, the religious wars still raged, he put his great experience in defending royal places against the Imperial troops to improving the defensive apparel of the castle for the use of firearms (e.g. muskets and cannons).

In the "green rooms", as they were designed in the 17th century, flower beds, climbing roses and hornbeam line the walkways next to the castle.
