Château
de Milandes
The Chateau des Milandes overlooks the Dordogne river and was
home to Josephine Baker. She awed Paris with her flamboyant revues
in the first half of the twentieth century and later moved to Les
Milandes where she famously adopted twelve children known as the "Rainbow
Tribe". The Chateau now features an exhibition to her extraordinary
life as well as parkland and formal French gardens. Well worth a visit,
there are also falconry displays and a small restaurant.
