Fence detail decoration with the initials JB (Josephine Baker) halfway the lower garden. The redesigned garden reaches from the castle all the way down to the river Dordogne with Parc Josephine Baker, it includes a "Music Hall" theatre, outdoor stage and a villa, today a restaurant. It's like she just left, still there, so authentic and an extra treasure to discover.
