    Saw the video on So Château and had to go. Beautifully set against the Vezaire River, the house has much to offer. It's not huge but is very interesting. I suggest to go in the late morning, see the house, have lunch in the restaurant, which is simple but delightful, then tour the gardens. For 10 euros for the house and grounds, it's a bargain for a great day out.

    Fantastic chateau, not massive but takes a couple of hours to walk round the house and gardens. Enjoyed great coffee and a lovely cake. Has QR code which helps direct you round and show as well as tell what to see. Really enjoyed

    The Chateau de Losse is an absolute delight and should not be missed. It is not a huge, imposing chateau, it does not overwhelm with its size or grandeur, but it is a real treasure. It sits beautifully among trees, overlooking a valley above the river. It is elegant and beautifully maintained. The house and gardens have much to discover and the woodland walk is shady and cool on a hot day. The chateau contents are tastefully presented and include some real gems of furniture, paintings, tapestry and other items. It presents as a rich family's home, not purely as a museum. The gardens are a lovely mix of formal and informal and an excellent explanation of the chateau and gardens is provided through an audio guide. The restaurant is worth a visit, we had gorgeous glace artisanale, specially made ice cream. Meals, drinks, deserts and other food is also available. The staff were excellent and very friendly, this stood out. We absolutely loved the Chateau de Losse.
