George Clooney‘s French Estate Revealed: 900-Square-Meter Property Offers Family Privacy in Provence
BRIGNOLES, FRANCE – George Clooney and his family have settled into a sprawling 900-square-meter estate in the heart of Provence, France, seeking a more secluded life away from the Hollywood spotlight. the property, located near Brignoles, boasts a wealth of amenities including a swimming pool, a private forest, vineyards, a lake, a tennis court, and a picturesque lavender field.

Clooney revealed the move was motivated by a desire to provide his children with a different upbringing. “We are very lucky, we live on a farm in France,” he explained in a recent interview with Esquire. “A lot of my life as a kid was on a farm and I hated it,but now,for them,it’s different: they’re not glued to the iPad. They dine with adults and have to clear their plates. They have a much better life.”
The actor emphasized the cultural shift,noting,”In France,people don’t give a damn about fame,” allowing his family to enjoy a more normal existence free from the pressures of Hollywood and constant paparazzi attention.

This isn’t the first time Clooney has chosen a lakeside or nature-surrounded residence. For years,his well-known property was Villa Oleandra on the banks of Lake Como in Italy,which was put up for sale in 2023. Despite the relocation, Clooney remains actively involved in film and theater, continuing to work as a producer, director, and screenwriter from his French estate.
