Curious by nature, Bertrand is always on the lookout for the slightest little scoop. Passionate about football, he is never far from football and all the news that comes with it. However, showbiz or political events are also part of his preferred journalistic research.
George and Amal Clooney own a 900m2 18th century villa in Brignoles, in the Var. Charmed by the quality of life offered by Provence, they chose to settle down there permanently and begin renovations.
During the summer of 2021, George and Amal Clooney purchased for some 8 million euros (the exact figure is religiously kept secret), a sumptuous estate in Brignoles: the Château de Canadel.
This little corner of paradise has a beautiful 900 m² building, set on more than 180 hectares of land. The couple was charmed by the quality of life offered by Provence, to the point of “abandoning their sumptuous villa on Lake Como and their Georgian mansion in Berkshire”, to “set down their suitcases between maquis and scrubland” for good.
This is what we learn in the latest edition of Paris Match, published on newsstands this Thursday, February 8, 2024. Our colleagues reveal in particular all the work carried out by the parents of Ella and Alexander. Starting with their desire to fence their property, which until now had no fence.
As for their house, the mayor of Brignoles Didier Brémond explained to the magazine that George Clooney “has redone everything in an Italian style, probably a bit like what he has in his house on Lake Como.”
“Many Italian workers” were called upon, as well as “Parisian decorators”. There are also “landscapers every day”, whose mission is to maintain the entire exterior, including a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a pine forest with a small lake outside. sheltered from view. “It’s all high maintenance.” Finally, the couple also called on another company at the beginning of February which deals with “earthworks and plantings.”
All means are therefore implemented to ensure that they live in the best possible conditions. Note that the presence of George and Amal Clooney in Brignoles obviously does not go unnoticed by the residents.
Nor with those from the village of Cotignac, where they went on February 3, as told by our colleagues from Paris Match who were at their side. The couple happily stopped with passers-by to chat with them, with a smile and under a “soft winter sun at 20°.” Difficult to dream of better?
