the French couturier Gabrielle “Coco” Bonheur Chanel’s old holiday home in the South of France is for sale for 40 million euros, “about 1/4 billion.”
Chanel started as a designer and had expanded to include dresses, suits, pants for women, jewelry and perfume. She is known for having created the “little black dress” and to have created the unisex fashion. Coco Chanel died in 1971, now Karl Lagerfeld chief designer for the fashion house.

Clark Gable at a party
house, located between the Italian border and Monaco, called Chanel La Pausa (pause, ed.’s note), allegedly by biblical story of Mary Magdalene took a break in the same area on the way from Jesus’ crucifixion in Jerusalem.
In 1953 selling Chanel house of the late couple Emery and Wendy Reves. Now own Reves’ foundation property.
– Clark Gable has been partying in La Pausa. Igor Stravinski, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Hugh Grosvenor visited the house several times. Chanel never married but had many “friends” on the visit, said Lilloe.
In addition, the French resistance movement have used the house during World War II.
Party Family took over
Coco Chanel bought the property in 1929 for 1.8 million francs, and built the house for six million francs, which was very much at the time, tells Lilloe.
Owner number two, Hungarian Emery Reves was an author, financier, art collector and publisher, while his wife, American Wendy Reves, for some it is known as a philanthropist and former fashion model. She inherited the house when Emery Reves died in 1981.
– Reves family was a family party, a proper sossefamilie. Wendy Reves thought she was Coco Chanel herself, she has retained the style of the house as it was and lived his life as Coco Chanel lived his, says Lilloe.
Winston Churchill stayed in La Pausa 54 weeks between 1956 and 1960. He was a close friend of the Reves family, and had two solid floors of the east wing when he was visiting.
restoration
Designed at La Pausa is based at the orphanage where Chanel grew up, a nun homes from the 1100s.
– In addition, the five windows again several places in the property, they represent the perfume Chanel no 5 Chanel was inspired by staying at La Pausa, and made a perfume called La Pausa no 28 which was first launched in 2007, that after her death, says Lilloe.
The main house is approximately 1,000 square feet, and requires complete refurbishment, according Lilloe.
– You have to do something about everything except layout and structure. It’s almost like a museum. For example, there are seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, bedrooms are thus associated with a bathroom each. It’s a little weird solutions, for example, all the bathrooms service entrance. Now do you manage to wipe himself, says Lilloe.
– There are no other people have made food here though. It’s servants stood for. The kitchen is a “service kitchen”, with a pantry in a room in front, says Lilloe.
Buyer’s Market
the past five years, real estate has been slow on the French Riviera, according Lilloe.
– One can safely say that it is a buyer’s market here, also in the upper prissjiktet. However, it is more interest now than before, people go on view at properties like this one and larger properties. It is a big step forward that people considering buying, says Lilloe.
Chanel in New York has submitted a bid, but the bid was too low. They are interested in buying up property that has significance for the company, says Lilloe.
The most relevant stakeholder right now is a businessman from the Middle East engaged in oil, gas and construction.
