Bought in 2003 for half the price, David and Victoria Beckham's Domaine St Vincent is a six bedroom, 19th century mansion, tucked away in the countryside near the village of Bargemon

This beautiful property, which was known to many as Beckingham Palace-sur-Mer, covers 80 hectares of land and is bordered by the Canjuers military base which adds to the privacy of this gorgeous estate. The Mail Online (UK newspaper) has reported that a source told them, “They are never there. When the kids were smaller, they used to come often but now they are never in France during the school holidays."

Despite a local rumour that the property is haunted by the ghost of a former owner, Leslie Duck, a EU diplomat who committed suicide in the house in 2001, Victoria is reported to have spent £5 million renovating the 19th Century property to match her tastes.

The famous couple have reportedly just spent a whopping €37 million on a new home in the Cotswolds, England. Although the couple will be moving away from the South of France, there is no doubt that their love for the area will bring them back on holiday here soon!
