This time, it’s the last of the lasts for Michel Sardou! After living in Corsica, Paris and Normandy, the singer settled down in the Var. He bought an XXL villa for his old age. He explained his choice in an interview.
After bidding farewell to the stage, Michel Sardou is taking full advantage of his retirement in the sun. The singer, now 78 years old, who shares his life with his very discreet wife Anne-Marie Périer, bought a large house in the Var in 2023. Precisely at Cap Bénat, a private estate for rich owners located in Bormes-les-Mimosas.
Why did Michel Sardou settle in Bénat?
Asked by Nice-MorningMichel Sardou justified his choice to buy an XXL villa with swimming pool, facing the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros: “I didn’t want Nice or Cannes. I looked towards Cassis before getting closer to here…“. The performer of hits Africa farewell, love sickness or even To be a woman has always loved the sun, having owned a home in Corsica for a long time before parting with it. To afford this new building, Michel Sardou made a radical choice by selling his apartment in Paris and his mansion in Normandy!
But why here and not elsewhere? “I looked at the view. The box there (the Mediterranean Sea, facing its windows, editor’s note)it still surprises me (…) Here, no one bothers me. No one asks me for a selfie…“. And Michel Sardou, who does not close the door to other professional activities such as doing theater again, says that he does not do “not much“if not walking his dog Sissi”at the beach, because she likes to swim.” Furthermore, he wishes to ask the mayor for authorization to organize “a real championship“of balls in honor of his father.”I have something to keep me busy!“, he assured.
How much is Michel Sardou’s house worth?
The singer has made a very good living in singing, having started his career in the 1960s at Barclay Records. So, Nice-Morning previously revealed that Michel Sardou had therefore been able to acquire “a 600 m² villa with swimming pool and sea view, purchased in September 2023 for 6.3 million euros before works.“A very nice sum!
The only problem with his new house? It is the mayor, François Arizzi, who speaks about it best. Invited to the Sardous, he recounted his meeting with the couple to the local daily: “We discussed its sanitation and spreading problems. What the previous owner, an industrialist, had not done at the time.”
