Excellent food and opportunities for music by the side of the DordogneThese gardens were originally created by Josephine Baker to provide a playground for the children she adopted and who lived in the Chateau des Milandes on the hill above. This place had declined over many years but has now received a loving facelift after being bought by Rosemary xxxxx and her husband with the intention of recreating a music venue and an excellent restaurant in this lovely location.We happened to discover a music event which was taking place before the restaurant opened for the main season. Dinner was provided on the lawn under trees beside of the Dordogne – a wonderful location and a great experience for...
Went for family lunch. Spectacular place and lovely atmosphere. Perfect for a coke Ordered lunch. Hamburgers, duck breast and kids menus. Frankly very badly cooked burgers. All was burned. The Bread, the duck and the optaties fried in burned oil. Staff was underpowered and one waitress quite unfriendly. Sat waiting for desert for app 30 minutes until i was fed up and went to pay with the patron. He apologized for the food.Very friendly patron so i hope he can change the course of this place in little dordogne paradise!
This beautiful Chateau gives you a view of the fantastic Josephine Baker's life. The walk through the rooms not only shows her beautiful costumes, but also shows many candid photographs of her private and public life. It is very tastefully done.As a bonus there is a bird show of raptours including lovely owls and falcons. Eventhough the commentary is in French, it is still facinating.Highly recommended.
The gardens were originally designed at the beginning of the XX century by Jules Vacherot. In 2016 the gardens were extensively restored, including wonderful water courses copied from 1909 drawings. It's a lovely tranquil garden to wander round.More than 70 birds of prey reside at the castle and we were able watch some of the falconers displaying the prowess of these birds.
We were so pleasantly surprised that Milandes had been so restored and so beautiful! What a great tribute to Josephine Baker and her family!
