It’s got to be the ultimate South of France holiday home - Brigitte Bardot’s 14-suite former retreat is for sale in Cannes.

The historic house offered the Fifties/Sixties film sex goddess-turned-animal rights activist, now 85, an escape from massive media attention.

These days it operates as an ultra-glam, exclusive boutique hotel for high-end guests.

Built across four floors, it boasts breathtaking panoramic views and is surrounded by landscaped gardens, olive groves and vineyards.

There are two heated pools and pool houses with summer kitchens, a Jacuzzi, an artist's studio and caretaker premises.

In addition to those 14 suites, there are vast reception rooms, outbuildings and recreational areas and the airport is just 35 minutes away.

It’s on the market with Christie’s International Real Estate for £5.36 million.
