A pleasant surprise. Josephine Baker's home for 30 years has been brought back to its former glory…read more The grounds and gardens are immaculate, with a troop of gardeners picking up every leaf and planting new flowers near the chapel. A falconry show begins at 11:15, with another at 4. Audioguides in numerous languages are available at the gift shop and start of the tour. The gorgeous chateau has an interesting history beginning in the 15th century, with gargoyles galore. Josephine, resistance fighter, humanitarian, and world renowned singer and dancer from the 1920s to the 60s, installed some amazing bathrooms into the chateau, which has lots of stairs. Great views over the valley and village. Pieces of her music are available on the audio guide. A woman-owned business about an amazing woman. Cafe and toilets are available. Free parking, but tickets are required to enter grounds.

Chateau Milandes was built in the early 15th Century, but it's most famous inhabitant (in my…read moreopinion) was Josephine Baker. She started renting the Château in 1937, then bought it and lived their till the late 1960s. This is where she raised her flock of adopted children (she had 12!). Evicted and swindled in her later years, she spent her final years elsewhere, dying in Paris in 1975. The Château was bought 20 some years ago, and the current owner and her daughter have brought back the Château and gardens in all their glory! The items on display map out Baker's tumultuous life, from her birth in Jim Crow Missouri to her rise to fame on the French entertainment world. Truly fascinating and a must see for any fan of Josephine Baker!

Superb stay at the Moulin Rouge…read more We stayed 5 nights the last week of May. Highly recommended!!! The house - a beautiful 500 year old stone house, was in the owner's family for 200 years. Updated and very well kept. The ground - The minute you enter the place you feel like you had stepped into a magical place. The pictures don't capture well the beauty of the estate. It is truly incredible. The house sits on a beautiful 6 acre lot with gorgeous garden and a beautiful natural pool which is part of the Dordogne River. Across the pool there is a beautiful grassed slope with trees at the very top. Underground spring brings fresh water into the pool. The room - We stayed in the Rosalie room. Nicely decorated in a Country French fashion. On one side you have a Queen size bed and on the other a seating area with a sofa and a small table. There is an in-room white tiled bathroom with a shower. The room floor is also white tiles. All very clean and well kept. The owners - Rosette and Misha are the nicest hosts we have ever had! They are so welcoming, warm and friendly couple, a true pleasure to be their guests. I just can't say enough about how wonderful they are. They both are very happy to help out with trip suggestions and any help that you might need. Both speak French; Rosette also speaks English very well. The breakfast - Out of this world! Everything was fresh and delicious! Rosette is a great cook! We got a wonderful selection of breads, home made jams, home baked goods, eggs, cheese, fresh fruit, coffee. The price - We found it to be very fair. Very good value for the money. The nearby area - there is a bakery and a small market a few steps outside the BnB. There is a bigger supermarket 1-2 mins by car. The fresh local (traveling) market is held just across from the BnB every Tuesday. If you have not been to one yet - go. While at Cenec rent a Canoe, it is a great way to enjoy the area. If you want to take it easy, pick the route which goes with the stream.
