Our next 2025 event will be on Wednesday 11 June 2025 when we will visit the fabulous Château des Milandes at 24260 Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, 16 km south of Sarlat. Members should book via Nigel.
Greg Hawes (our Chairman) writes:
“Besides being a beautiful château from the fifteenth century set in lovely grounds in the heart of the Dordogne valley, Milandes is renowned as the former home of one of the most famous French women of the twentieth: the American-born cabaret artiste and Resistance heroine Josephine Baker. She is the most recent of only five French women to be honoured at the Panthéon in Paris (Marie Curie was the first—bonus points if you can name the other three !). The château now houses a fascinating exhibition celebrating her life. The visit includes the recently renovated chapel. You can download a leaflet and plan of the grounds at <https://www.milandes.com/en/>”
The schedule for the day includes lunch followed by the tour and the display of birds of prey.
After that we are free to visit the Chapel and explore the grounds.
Our 4th visit is likely to be the Millau Viaduct and Roquefort in early July. Details to follow.
