The Maison de la Madrague de Brigitte Bardot is almost as iconic as its owner! But did you know that the former 90-year-old actress bought her in the 1950s for a “derisory” sum?
Brigitte Bardot has been in the same haven of peace for almost 70 years: her property from Madrague in Saint-Tropez. The old icon of French cinema bought this house against the sea in 1958 and still lived there today. But did you know that the ex-actress had acquired this property for a sum which seems derisory today?
Brigitte Bardot: her house in Saint-Tropez bought… for a small sum
It is not a secret for anyone: Saint-Tropez has become a popular destination over the decades and the landmarks of many stars. And necessarily, the price of real estate is exorbitant. According to data relayed by the Sunday newspaperthe median price of a house is 2.3 million and the median price per square meter for an apartment is around 7,290 euros.
However, Brigitte Bardot did a matter by buying her property from Madrague in the late 1950s. At the time, according to the JDDshe had paid for 25 million francs, or around … 375,000 euros. If the sum was still substantial for the time, it seems ridiculous today when we compare with current prices!
Brigitte Bardot, ready to sell her house against the sea? “The formalities have been carried out”
But the ex-actress certainly does not intend to resell her property. On the contrary, the one who is now 90 years old has planned to end her days in her house and be buried there. “”The formalities were carried out. A specific place was accepted by the authorities, far from the eyes, but near the graves of my little animal cemetery. I like the place of my eternal rest, I chose it with conscience“She explained in her book Combat tears.
And to specify: “I prefer to rest there that in the cemetery of Saint-Tropez, where a crowd of assholes would risk damaging the grave of my parents and grandparents. I want us to do their peace“.
What does his Madrague house look like?
BB, which resides in this house with her husband Bernard d’Ormale, does not leave his little paradise on earth almost any more. In her property, she has a house for her and her husband, one for her friends and another for the goalkeeper, according to the JDD. As for the decoration of the interior, it is rather simple with “royal blue canvas blinds“as well as”walls in plaster “.
The garden is more sought after with a “Pool hidden behind a low wall“And plants at all costs, such as bougainvilliers or reeds. And what would Brigitte Bardot be without her animals? The nonagenarian obviously has a dovecote in order to collect her birds and lives with her cats and dogs.
