15th-century castle, once home of Josephine Baker, with exhibits chronicling her life.

Castle with exhibition about Josephine Baker. Very nice park and views of the surrounding area and the Dordogne. Entry €12/adult (2019). In 1938 the castle was first rented by Josephine Baker and then purchased in 1947. She arranged for electricity and water connections in the castle and in the adjacent village of Milandes, which became the first village in the Périgord to have these amenities. Josephine Baker also commissioned a complete renovation of the interior. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Chateau des Milandes, built in the late 15th century, was temporarily owned by the world-famous chanson singer and dancer Josephine Baker. During the Second World War she was a member of the Resistance and the Armed Forces of the Free France. In 1947, Josephine bought the beautiful castle with a view over the Dordogne and the "black" Perigord (part of the Perigord riddled with limestone caves). She married a world-famous conductor and together they created a rainbow family. From her travels all over the world she brought back a total of 12 abandoned children, adopted them and turned her village within a village into a global village. There are even more beautiful chateaus here on the Dordogne

The twice-daily raptor show is also worth seeing.

Formerly called Allas-de-Berbiguière, this charming little town is a beautiful leap in time and history. Its museum on the passage of time brings together many objects from the different eras that have succeeded and marked the village. The museum terrace will also offer you a pleasant moment of rest on the banks of the Dordogne!

The Château des Milandes was the property of Joséphine Baker. She raised several children of all origins there, whom she adopted. Today, the castle can be visited and is one of the major assets of the region. On top of that, it overlooks the valley of the castles and the banks of the Dordogne, between the fortresses of Beynac and Castelnaud!

Cladech is a small village not well known, but just as interesting to discover. We are pleasantly surprised to find the typical architecture of the region.

Saint-Germain-de-Belvès is a nice surprise along the way to Castenaud! There is a water fountain and magnificent restored and maintained medieval buildings!
