George and Amal Clooney's casual combined net worth of $570 million is partly down to their magnificent global property portfolio, which sees the Hollywood power couple with homes in Italy, England, New York, California, and more.
Every summer, the Clooneys retire to their $100 million lakeside bolthole in Lake Como, but the couple appear to have now fallen in love with a new European destination to ride out the winter, too.
This weekend, the Oceans Eleven actor and his civil rights lawyer sweetheart were seen walking through the streets of Contingac - a small village 20 miles from Brignolses - in the Cote d'Azur where they recently purchased a breathtaking chateau.

They visited a local art exhibition and dined at Picotte restaurant, a gourmet establishment that offers local cuisine with fresh and local produce.

Chatting to Jimmy Kimmel, the Boys in the Boat star revealed his children speak English, French and Italian, telling the talk show host: "I'm not a very smart person. I’ve armed my children, they speak French and Italian."
The Clooney's idyllic French estate is just a 25-minute drive from Chateau Miraval, formally co-owned by George's close friend and fellow actor Brad Pitt, and ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
George and Amal's love for Euorope has long been a shared interest in their marriage. Not only did they choose to tie-the-knot in a fairytale wedding in Venice, but they regularly vacation in Lake Como, Italy, where George has owned the magnificent Villa Oleandra since 2002.

He bought Villa Oleandra in Northern Italy from the Heinz family in the noughties, and has since hosted stars like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston and Matt Damon.
