English
- The Château des Milandes is the former home of Joséphine Baker. The entire visit to the interiors is a tribute to this great lady and her unusual journey. Its park also offers you a very pleasant stroll, where you can admire its beautiful flower beds and enjoy the freshness at the edge of its ponds. During spring and summer, a show of raptors enlivens the place and makes it a tourist site, very popular with families. This is an opportunity to learn more about these large birds and to approach them in complete safety.

Garden ok. Nothing special other than the chateau in the background. Ruined by modern stainless steel water courses that are designed to be then center of attention. About as attractive as a 1970s council estate in the middle of a medieval village. Yuck. Birds of prey cages are saddening. A bald eagle on a 1 meter leash, continually facing the wall 5 inches away. So sad. Owls are locked in small sheds no bigger than the bathrooms inside the chateau. The house and audio guide are good.

Joséphine Baker, just that to make a detour to this magnificent castle which can be visited with its superb garden and its spectacular birds. The car park is right in front of the entrance and free (rare therefore to be emphasized). 👍

This castle is the former building of the singer and magazine leader Josephine Baker, the visit of the castle revolves around this theme while we were thinking of a more historical visit. We also attended a playful raptor show that young and old loved to end with a stroll through remarkable gardens and aviaries.
