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 (Zouzou) and was the only female speaker in the civil rights march to Washington with Martin Luther King and was offered the lead in the movement when he was assassinated but she declined. When the builders refurbishing the chateau sent her almost broke, Grace Kelly, a close friend, offered her accommodation on the Riviera. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6110328/56059b9d-186d-4c48-a62d-2c0c7a608c30.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Château des Milandes 58 min drive \- 37.0 miles - ![0_74411211](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6110330/d3129440-1e25-4629-a48f-5dd550df9616.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Château de Castelnaud 58 min drive \- 37.2 miles - ![One of Perigord's most popular attractions, the spectacular topiary of the Marqueyssac Gardens are something to behold.

The accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped, everything needed for a self-catering holiday. It is conveniently located for shops, supermarkets, restaurants etc. but at the same time in a beautiful quiet rural location. The pool was very welcome especially in view of the extremely hot weather during our stay and the garden secluded and peaceful. Anna and Alain were most attentive but at the same time respected our privacy. We very much look forward to a return visit. Mike & Sue July 2022 ##### Michael A.
