The Var region, including the surroundings of the Porquerolles island, is highly appreciated by celebrities. They can enjoy nature and a much more relaxed lifestyle than in the capital city. These qualities have attracted Gérard Jugnot, who flies to the area to stay in his house on the Giens peninsula whenever he can.
Gérard Jugnot’s house, a gem facing the sea According to Purepeople, Gérard Jugnot invested in this second home several decades ago. He met the previous owner, who one day surprised him by revealing himself as Gérard Jugnot. The actor explained, “I just bought the house. I wasn’t aware of it.”
During the conversation, he revealed details about the property, describing it as “a magnificent villa, located on the heights of the peninsula, maybe even the highest point.” The red house “faces the Mediterranean, visible from the immense living room, which used to be furnished in a Provencal style.” It includes several rooms overlooking a beautiful garden with palm trees providing shade to a large pool. There may have been changes, as the actor has reportedly done renovations since acquiring the property.
One thing that remains unchanged is the property’s ultra-private aspect. Accessing his house is not easy, thanks to steep dirt roads where he used to drive a Méhari to move around.
A region that the actor cherishes above all While Gérard Jugnot’s house appears to be a little paradise, he has a real fondness for the region, exploring it whenever he can. According to Purepeople, the actor enjoys boat trips for snorkeling and visits to the Port-Cros National Park or the Fort de l’Estissac for the view.
It is worth mentioning that Gérard Jugnot is also the godfather of the Porquerolles Film Festival, showcasing his love for the region and providing him with another opportunity to spend more time there.
