The Château de Milandes is a 15th century castle best known for its association with the music hall star, Josephine Baker.
You can learn about her history in the castle and enjoy the formal garden outside, which has low box hedges forming large rectangles filled with an explosion of colourful bedding plants. Steps lead down to a formal park area with large trees, clipped topiaries and large lawns. There are falconry shows on the lawns.
