This beautiful Chateau gives you a view of the fantastic Josephine Baker's life. The walk through the rooms not only shows her beautiful costumes, but also shows many candid photographs of her private and public life. It is very tastefully done. As a bonus there is a bird show of raptours including lovely owls and falcons. Eventhough the commentary is in French, it is still facinating. Highly recommended.

The gardens were originally designed at the beginning of the XX century by Jules Vacherot. In 2016 the gardens were extensively restored, including wonderful water courses copied from 1909 drawings. It's a lovely tranquil garden to wander round. More than 70 birds of prey reside at the castle and we were able watch some of the falconers displaying the prowess of these birds.
