George Clooney and his family have found a peaceful escape in the French countryside. The actor, his wife Amal, and their seven-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, live in a charming country house in France.
Their most recent purchase is a stunning 18th-century chateau in Brignoles near Provence, which was bought for $8.3 million in 2021. This dreamy property comes complete with a vineyard, a pool, tennis courts, and a guest house.

"Growing up in Kentucky, all I wanted to do was get away from a farm, get away from that life, he said in a recent interview with The New York Times. “Now I find myself back in that life. I drive a tractor and all those things."

In addition to his country home in France, Clooney also owns a charming estate in England, a luxurious villa on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, and another property near his family in Kentucky.

Including Millie Bobby Brown, who lives with her husband Jake Bongiovi on a Georgia farm, and most recently Eva Longoria, who opened up about her life in Spain.

I started thinking about buying a place here five years ago and have been on the hunt ever since,” the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star told to ¡HOLA! Spain in an exclusive interview.
