Not far from there, singer Dave and her husband Patrick Loiseau acquired a secondary house 25 years ago: “Daniel [Auteuil] Convinced me to come here saying to me: ‘Like that, when we are old, we will go to fishing together.’ (…) I love this house, it is in the middle of nowhere in an area where you cannot build, “he had told Purepeople.
25 kilometers away, it is the charm of Bonnieux, a perched village offering a breathtaking view of the Luberon mountains, which won the heart of the famous American actor and director John Malkovich. It was there that he acquired his secondary residence, in an area of 10 hectares with a vineyard.
It was also in this typically Provençal village that the famous couturier Pierre Cardin had built his film studios and had acquired the castle of Lacoste, which long belonged to the Marquis de Sade.
