Llantony Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Rumour has it that David Bowie has a place in France. Anyone know where? (Just nosey, not planning to pop round.)I gather he once had a chateau that Chopin had lived in but I think that one's a hotel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I live within 2 1/2 hours of Bordeaux. Mr.Bowie is a good 2 hours drive from you.I throw in the fact that he has another 2 properties within the French main land.He has only visited these houses twice in the last 6 years.I know he occassionaly browses forums..Hence my obligation to remain tight lipped.Plus I was a fan from 1969..

valB Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Someone told me that Johnny Depp has a home at Ill de Re near La Rochelle. Not sure how true this is. Anyone know of any other celebs who have homes in France ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I thought Johnny Depp had a property on the south of France? Perhaps he has two. One of the best actors out there.Tina Arena lives near Tours apparently. She sings better in French than Australian too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llantony Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 ]Someone told me that Johnny Depp has a home at Ill de Re near La Rochelle. Not sure how true this is. Anyone know of any other celebs who have homes in France ?Well, define celebrity! Richard & Judy have a place at St Paul de Vence nr Nice, Wogan is said to have somewhere in the Gers. There's been a lot of guff about Angelina Joli (I think) living in France and recently producing twins. Chef Ken Hom had a place in France a while ago. Jarvis Cocker lives in Paris. There must be loads on the Riviera - I know some Rolling Stones had places there years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
