Location History

The de Losse family, originally from Flanders, erected a fortress in the Vézère Valley as early as the eleventh century. Jean II de Losse (1504-1580), a military strategist in the service of the kings of France, transformed the castle into a Renaissance residence while adapting its medieval fortifications. His motto "Man does what he can, fortune what he wants" reflects his vision of destiny through the vicissitudes of his life. Princess Nhu May of Annam, owner of the Château de Losse, was a pioneer of agriculture and a charismatic figure in Thonac. Raised in France, she distinguished herself as the only woman in her class at the National Agronomic Institute. After transforming the castle into a farm, she was recognised for her agricultural innovations and her humanitarian commitment. Becoming a city councillor and a crucial supporter during the war, she bequeathed the castle to her nephew when he retired, but continued to live nearby until her death. Today, the castle houses an exhibition about her life and her garden is a charming tea room called The Princess Garden.
