Whether or not you are overly interested in Josephine Baker, the grounds, the views, and the chateau itself are worth the visit. Josephine Baker's story is one of independence and daring. I was unaware of her Resistance work during WW2. During our visit we were fortunate to be there just in time to see the Birds of Prey show. It was very well done in a small, intimate area. I have seen several of these types of shows before but this was one of the best - but then of course, we were in France!!! If you have a extra hour or so, or have kids with you, you might be surprised.

I really love this place, we have been a couple of times now. I just love the bathrooms which I think are done in the theme of perfumes. Josephine Baker is such and interesting character and her story is fascinating.

You learn something new every day... an interesting insight into life for the monied of yesteryear. Also an interesting story of the African American singer/dancer finding a welcoming life of opportunity and privilege among the French.

Amazing place, amazing story. Don't miss this at any cost if you find yourselves in the Dordogne and love music art and culture.

Chateau des Milandes, one of Josephine Baker's homes in France, is beautiful. An audio tour fully describes her life and each room of the Chateau. Many of her costumes are on display in one of the rooms while another room depicts her participation during World War II when she worked with the Red Cross, gathered intelligence for the French Resistance and entertained troops in Africa and the Middle East. Outside, the bird of prey show was entertaining and amazing. The birds flew right over the audience's heads. The grounds are beautiful and the intricate architecture on the exterior of the chateau is captivating. Just beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

There is not enough space to describe the life of African-American dancer Josephine Baker. From 1947 until about 1970, this was her home. It is a restored historical chateau, but the interior decor is more like 1950s America, inside a beautiful French chateau. There are hundreds of pictures and costumes she wore in her career. It's a fascinating story--better than the chateau itself. The location is not well signed, until you get close. If you go across the bridge to Castlenaud, then take an immediate right turn and follow along the road by the river, you will find it. There is falconry exhibition at 2:30 (I think one other time as well) that is enjoyable. I would not pay for the audio tour--the free booklet in English is more than sufficient, with a very long description of her life imbedded in the tour description.

We visited Chateau des Milandes in July. It is a very impressive building with lovely gardens and views and some caged birds. The tour describing Josephine Baker’s life is very informative and the display of birds of prey is interesting although 99% of it was in French.

We did not plan to stop here but thanks to some free time decided to do it and were amazed! Charming and picturesque chateau once inhabited by Josephine Baker. Her museum is very interesting and educational. Falcon and exotic birds show on premises was fantastic. It starts at 11am. We had lunch at the restaurant next to chateau - nice and affordable. The museum has a souvenir shop mostly dedicated to the life of Josephine Baker. We spent more than 3 hours there and did not want to leave - it is so romantic and beautiful.

We were pleasantly surprised by the way Josephine Baker fixed up this castle. The rooms are beautifully decorated and have an old charm, and also a sadness when one learns more about her final years. The restaurant on the premises has a quaint outdoor terrace... Food is adequate...Friendly service and reasonable prices. We recommend visiting this wonderful chateau in this strikingly beautiful Dordogne valley.
