Chateau Milandes

Chateau Milandes has proved very popular with guests this summer. In addition to the exhibition of costumes for its once time owner Josephine Baker, the excellent display of birds of prey it also has a beautiful renovated garden designed by Jules Vacherot. With the opening of a brasserie it makes for an excellent day out.

Fabulous frescoes

In a very unassuming little church in the nearby hamlet of Soulaures there has been a fantastic discovery. Having decided to renovate the plaster in their church they made a most unexpected but very exciting discovery. Hidden behind they found the most wonderful frescoes which have made their place of worship an absolute treasure.
