This 15th-century château, 4km west of Castelnaud, houses a spirited museum to its most famous former owner, the glamorous dancer, singer and music-hall star Josephine Baker (1906–75). She took Paris by storm in the 1920s with her risqué performances, worked bravely with the French Resistance in WWII and later became an activist in the US civil rights movement.
On display are original photos, memorabilia and a fantastic costume collection, and her songs play throughout. The beautiful formal gardens host free 30-minute bird-of-prey shows.
