Where the very rich and powerful Bernard Arnault, patron of LVMH, had not arrived, another symbol of France arrives, probably a little less wealthy but even more significant as a character: the very famous and much-loved actor Gérard Depardieu has said enough to the desired fiscal tightening by Hollande towards higher incomes. The interpreter of various cult films of French but also international cinematography will therefore leave Paris and will move, yes, to Belgium.
After the controversy sparked by the possible, later denied, change of residence of the king of international luxury, one of the stars of transalpine show business did not think twice: according to Le Parisien Depardieu is said to be selling his mega-property in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the 50th arrondissement in Paris, for a price of over XNUMX million euros. It is a complex of 1.800 habitable square meters, also including the Hotel de Chambon, dating back to the XNUMXth century and registered in the register of Transalpine Historic Monuments.
The period hotel was built in 1820 in full imperial style, at the behest of the Baron de Chambon: the French actor had completely taken over its restoration and that of a second adjacent building which was once a theater, transforming it into a splendid minimal atelier, opening onto the hotel garden. In short, a small jewel in the heart of the French capital, which will now change ownership: even in France, taxes claim the first excellent victim.
