Josephine Baker and her Château Les Milandes
S2 • E4 Feb 1, 2026 26m
The Château Les Milandes in southwestern France is a place with a fascinating history: Josephine Baker lived here. During the Second World War, she hid weapons and refugees from the Nazis here. Her twelve adopted children also grew up in the château until her luxurious lifestyle led to Les Milandes being auctioned off.
