Johnny Depp sells his village in French Provence. The complex, which includes a bistro, a wine cellar and a church converted into accommodation, is in Le Plan De La Tour, 20 kilometers from Saint Tropez and the Côte d'Azur

 It is not a mansion, which also includes it, but an entire village in Le Plan De La Tour, in the French Provence and about 20 km from Saint Tropez, and that Johnny Depp bought when he was married to Vanessa Paradis. Haunted by solvency problems, the actor is forced to get rid of this historic complex near the Côte d'Azur that includes a bistro, a winery and a church converted into accommodation. Depp already tried to sell the set in 2015 without success.

Part of the decoration is his work. The actor bought the village in 2001 and invested millions to make it a charming tourist destination.



The estate spans 17 hectares and includes 300-year-old vineyards. Depp bought the complex in 2001 and spent a fortune renovating it. He was then married to the French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis and the couple made the village their family haven, where they went with their children Jack and Lily-Rose. There they dined in the bistro of their own hotel, a church converted into Chez Marceline, and walked through the surrounding nature. For an American, looking at 300-year-old vineyards is an adventure.


The main building, of 418 m2, consists of five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a half toilet, the rest of the accommodations are divided between the old local church, converted, and five other units, one of them, an old train car. 


In total, about 1,300 m2 of living space on a 17-hectare estate. Among the curiosities, there is a pirate cave decorated by the interpreter of Jack Sparrow, plus two swimming pools, a gym, an art studio and an outdoor dining room in the old town square.

Phoebe Dynevor impresses her fans with a Bridgerton fashion campaign. The actress debuts as a model with a collection full of romantic and very feminine designs


 "The Bridgertons" is already one of the great sensations of the season. The gossip of Lady Whistledown and the love story of the Duke of Hastings and Daphne Bridgerton have conquered more than 82 million viewers who are already looking forward to the second season of the Netflix series.


Precisely the protagonists of the production, Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, have become the fashionable couple. Their looks are analyzed in detail, so it was a matter of time before clothing firms were interested in them to be the image of their campaigns. The first to make her debut in the sector was the British actress, who made her debut as a model for Self-Portrait.


The English brand has presented its proposals for the autumn-winter 21 collection in the middle of London Fashion Week. But she has not done it with a virtual parade due to sanitary restrictions but has decided to show her designs through social networks and her website where you can see the 25-year-old girl with the new designs.


“While designing this latest collection I thought a lot about that effortless approach to British style that inspires me so often. I knew Phoebe would be the perfect woman to bring this collection to life after capturing the hearts and imaginations of so many people over the past few months. The moment I met her, I loved how down-to-earth she was, while still having this incredible spirit and energy that perfectly emulates our attitude and values, ”says the brand's creative director and founder, Han Chong.

In this campaign Dynevor has changed the corsets and empire-cut dresses for garments reminiscent of the Regencycore aesthetic that emerged in 2021. “I think there are some similarities (with 'The Bridgertons') in the softer color palette and the mood of some of her most delicate lace designs. But beyond that, I feel that Self-Portrait really has its eye on a much more modern and real way of dressing, ”explains the actress.

The English firm has made a line with 28 very feminine designs, with guipure dresses with floral embroidery and drapes on the body and different types of neckline, among them, the ‘halter’ that enhances the shoulders of the young woman. In the photos, taken in a London house, Phoebe also wears tops with puffed sleeves and a square neckline and maxi jumpers ideal to combine with leggings and sneakers. The firm is committed to three key colors to succeed next season: blue, white and lilac.


The actress appears in the campaign with a very natural makeup and her slightly wavy brown hair to bring freshness to the snapshots. Dynevor says that her favorite design is the purple cardigan that she wears on one of the streets of the British city. "It is super soft and comfortable and I felt beautiful," says the model, adding that she fell in love with the brand's garments in a session she did for a fashion magazine a few months ago.
