À Castelnaud, les Milandes, c'est un château et son jardin. Mais c'est surtout l'ancienne demeure de Joséphine Baker et ses 12 enfants adoptés, le « village du monde, capitale de la fraternité universelle » cher à la star, dont la vie est retracée lors de la visite. Un spectacle de rapaces ainsi que des ateliers enfants sont proposés (fauconnerie, nourrissage des oiseaux).

6 km de promenade ombragée, 150 000 buis taillés à la main, 130 mètres au-dessus de la Dordogne et 192 mètres d'altitude caractérisent ce lieu. Belvédère de la Dordogne et jardin le plus visité du Périgord, ce site classé multiplie les superlatifs. Les enfants peuvent profiter d'aires de jeux et d'ateliers. En juillet-août, des soirées aux chandelles sont organisées.

Dominant la Dordogne à 150 mètres, ce château féodal est l'un des mieux préservés de la région. Situé dans la vallée des cinq châteaux, dont celui de Castelnaud, le frère ennemi pendant la guerre de cent ans. La vue exceptionnelle qu'il offre et son état remarquable lui ont valu de servir de décor à dix-sept films, dont Les Visiteurs ou Jeanne d'Arc .
