Mireille mathieu to Spend Holidays in Beloved Avignon Home
Avignon, France – November 24, 2025 - French singing icon Mireille Mathieu intends to celebrate the year-end holidays in the Avignon house that holds a lifetime of memories, a multi-story property where she resided both in childhood and as an adult. The revelation, shared in the August 2023 documentary Mireille Mathieu, the mysterious young lady from Avignon, offers a rare glimpse into the private life of the famously reserved performer.
Mathieu’s choice to return to this southern French residence with her sister Monique underscores the singer’s preference for tranquility,a contrast to her life in a private mansion in Neuilly,Hauts-de-Seine. While financially secure – journalist Léna Lutaud noted in Figaro last October that Mathieu is “rich” – the artist reportedly favors the “calm of her mansion in the west of Paris” over Parisian nightlife, yet remains committed to residing in France. This return to Avignon signals a intentional embrace of personal history during a significant time of year.
The Avignon home represents a foundational chapter in Mathieu’s life, providing a sanctuary away from the demands of her celebrated career. Born in Avignon in 1946, she rose to international fame in the 1960s, becoming one of France’s most popular and enduring musical artists. Her continued connection to the region highlights a dedication to her roots despite decades of global recognition.
