Chateau des Milandes is a castle located in the Dordogne region of France. It was built in the late 15th century and was later transformed into a luxurious residence by the famous cabaret singer and dancer Josephine Baker in the 1930s.

The castle is situated in a picturesque location overlooking the Dordogne river valley. It has a unique blend of architectural styles including Gothic, Renaissance, and Louis XIII styles. The castle is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a large pond, a swimming pool, and a fountain.

Josephine Baker bought the castle in 1947 and used it as a residence and a place to entertain guests. She renovated the castle and added modern amenities such as electricity and running water. She also decorated the castle with her own art collection and her personal belongings.

Today, Chateau des Milandes is open to the public as a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Josephine Baker. Visitors can tour the castle and see the rooms where she lived, including her bedroom and dressing room. There is also a collection of her costumes and personal belongings on display.
