Château des Milandes
On holiday in the Périgord Noir, are you looking for an exceptional place to discover with your family? At the campsite, Le Capeyrou, we advise you to spend the day at the Château des Milandes.
The castle and its classified gardens
Built in 1489, this castle brilliantly represents the technical and aesthetic prowess of Renaissance architecture. This magnificent historic building is situated in the heart of a wooded park overlooking the Dordogne. Around the castle, you will be able to admire one of the most beautiful French gardens, listed as a Historic Monument.
The world-famous Château des Milandes has been renowned since 2012 as a place that pays tribute to an illustrious historical figure: Madame Josephine Baker. This famous woman of the 20th century was a regular resident of the Château des Milandes.
Entertainment at the Château des Milandes
This place, not to be missed in the Périgord Noir, is greatly appreciated by children, thanks to the many activities offered. This estate is known for its beautiful collection of exotic birds. You can, with your children, participate in their feeding or spend a few hours in their aviaries.
One of the favourite activities of the lords of the castle of Les Milandes was falconry. Accompanied by a guide, your children, dressed as falconers, will be able to discover the enigmatic world of birds of prey and handle the equipment necessary for this activity.
Would you like to turn your children’s holidays into a daydream? Sign them up for the musketeer workshop at the Château des Milandes: the lord of Caumont-la-Force awaits them for an exceptional fencing lesson.
As you can see, this magnificent Renaissance castle is worth a visit!
