Situated in the heart of the picturesque hamlet of Les Milandes, next door to the fabulous château, the house was previously owned by the humanitarian and singer Josephine Baker.

The cottage “Arc en Ciel” was part of her Global Village and provided additional accommodation for the 12 children, family and friends of the Rainbow Tribe, when the chateau became too small!

The cottage is superbly renovated and offers quality and tasteful accommodation, fabulous views of the chateau itself and of the Dordogne valley below. It has a private terrace and shares the lovely pool with the neighbouring Guardian’s Cottage.
