    Some years since our previous visit, lots of positive changes. A really interesting chateau, newly renovated and open chapel, gardens with a variety of exotic birds. The brasserie is excellent and means more time to enjoy the place. The bird show is fun.

    Beautiful castle with an amazing insight into the unique life of Josephine Baker. Besides the opportunity to see the inside of the castle, there is a beautiful garden and a lovely bird show multiple times a day. Definitely a must to visit, if you are in the neighbourhood!

    A very nice castle and gardens to visit. The entrance fee is not cheap but it is totally worth is. The bird show is interesting as well as the exotic animals. Very nice to visit with small children. The castle inside is also very nice with audio guide in different languages. But not that interesting for the smaller children's.

    Lovely chateau with a very interesting history of Josephine Baker. If you don’t know about her, I urge you to look her up. A very thought provoking exhibition of her life and times with some of her beautiful costumes. Good restaurant onsite with sensible prices and beautiful gardens to walk through. Easy, plentiful parking including disabled spaces.

    Lovely Chateau with beautiful gardens. Even has an Aviary to walk through. And a bird of prey demonstration. Most of the inside of the Chateau is dedicated to Josephine Baker. With photos and some of her costumes and dresses. A very interesting lady. Photos are not allowed inside. There is also a church to visit and a lovely café. I enjoyed this visit far more than the one we did to Chateau Chaumont sur loire.

    We had the most delightful, if somewhat warm visit. The children loved the bird show and were thrilled with the children’s audio tour. A fantastic day out

    Really nice experience. Beautiful gardens and an excuisite tour where the theme was mainly around the life and story of Josephine Baker - a truly memorable experience. Also the whole experience was very well organsied, with audio guidance in a choice of some 10 different languages, good float between the various exhibitions and welcoming staff all around. Finished off with a lunch which was tasteful, and more important at that point very efficient.

    The Château Des Milandes is a fantastic castle to visit in the Périgord region. It is different than most other castles since the theme is Josephine Baker and her life living in the castle. The castle. Is decorated how it was when she lived there, so it’s not original to the first owners in the 15th century. But that isn’t an issue, it’s still very interesting especially with the beautiful gardens around the castle, and the bird show they do, which is a spectacle.

    Wonderful experience!! I loved seeing the outdoor bird experience as well as the beautiful gardens and castle. The audio tour through the castle with the emphasis on the life of Josephine Baker was super! I learned a lot and loved my visit. Well worth the time to visit.

    Had a wonderful day visiting Domme for the market and then onto Chateau des Milandes.. what an amazing place. The best value for money place I've visited in France. There was a bird of pray display as we arrived.. lots of information as they demonstrated the beautiful birds close up. The restaurant was amazing too, excellent quality food, and the gardens with the aviaries was stunning. The Chateau was stunning, lots of information of its history but to hear more about Josephine Bakers life was a great treat. I would highly recommend.
