This event pays tribute to the many trades that have worked for decades patiently and passionately on the castle and all the bodies of buildings constituting the defensive apparatus in order to make them its magnificence of the Renaissance.
In order to better understand those who work today for the conservation and restoration of the French heritage in its great tradition, the castle invited the Federation of Companions of the Tour de France representing the new generation of excellence of knowledge-make, as well as a great craftsman "in the hands of gold" from Montignac, who gives life and splendour to the architectural elements and the objects of art in the largest institutions throughout the world.
We will offer visitors to immerse themselves in the world of craftsmen by participating in workshops and demonstrations.

About the location

Château de Losse
Route de la Princesse d'Annam, 24290 Thonac
  • Dordogne
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Despite its apparent homogeneity that seems to be confirmed by the vintage engraved 1570 in several places, the castle of Losse is a real architectural palimpsest: it includes vestiges of the late Middle Ages on which were erected new and ambitious constructions during the sixteenth century, in several phases.
Most of the work was done by a single man: Jean de Losse, «the honour and glory of Périgord» (according to the Périgourdin canon Jean Tarde), who was a knight of the king’s orders, governor of Mariembourg, Lyon, Verdun and Guyenne, field marshal and captain of the Louvre. The large castle, with its magnificent gardening developments, bears witness to this dazzling and unusual career.
