LOZE is situated on the southern limits of the Causses of the Quercy, precisely at the junction between the Causse of Limogne and an area of heavy clay soil, separated by the deep valley of the Bonnette River.
The name LOZE may have several origins. It could be from Gascony, from the ancient provençal LAUZA, a stone slab 5 – 6 centimetres in thickness, which once covered the roofs. But it could equally be of Occitane origin, from the word Losa: mud and silt, referring to the nature of the soil in the valley of the Bonnette.
