Clooney owns an estate in Italy’s picturesque Lake Como region, purchased in 2002, and he and Amal bought a historic manor in England.
Their property in southern France – a former wine estate called the Domaine du Canadel, near the village of Brignoles – was purchased in 2021.
They also own a New York apartment and a property in Kentucky, but reportedly sold homes in Los Angeles and Mexico over the past decade.
The glamorous couple are parents to 8-year-old twins.
Clooney told RTL that although the family jet-sets around, their French home “is where we’re happiest”.
Clooney is also a director and producer, and has two Oscars to put on whichever mantelpiece suits: one for best supporting actor in 2006’s Syriana and as a producer on 2012’s Argo.
On top of his cinema pay cheques, he has raked in millions for celebrity endorsements, including for Nespresso, and got a windfall pay-out for selling his stake in a tequila brand.
Clooney is not the only Hollywood luminary to want to go French: US director Jim Jarmusch on Friday told France Inter radio that he plans to apply for French nationality.
“I would like a place that will allow me to escape from the United States,” he said, also saying he was attracted to French culture.
