Gardens of Marqueyssac

This is just part of the panoramic view to be held from the ridge of Marqueyssac. On the far left is the delightful village of La Roque Gageac where you can get boat rides on the Dordogne or enjoy a leisurely meal by the river.

One of Perigord's most popular attractions, the spectacular topiary of the Marqueyssac Gardens are something to behold. Over 150,000 boxwoods have been trimmed to perfection in this wonderful display set atop a ridge with panoramic views (see other pic).

This will ever be known as the chateau of Josephine Baker.
She had been a singer of international renown with an extraordinary career. Born in the States in 1906, she emigrated to France and became a citizen in 1937 when she married a Jew, but not before knowing the street life in America where she’d had to sleep in cardboard shelters and scavenge in garbage bins.
For ten years she was the lead in the Folies Bergeres, and admired by all who saw her. Shirley Bassey once said, “I swear in all my life I have never seen, and probably never shall see again, such a spectacular singer and performer."
During WWII She won the Croix de Guerre for her work with the French Resistance. When the Germans invaded France she moved to the chateau where she helped Belgian refugees and ultimately adopted 12 children.
She was the first Afro-American to star in a major motion picture
