Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to spend £45m on French chateaux

Couple hope to transform the property

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got together in 2005

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to splash out on a mansion in Provence.

The couple, who have six kids, hope to transform the £35million 17th Century chateaux into their dream home.

They plan to spend £10million renovating all 35 bedrooms and developing a spa, wine cellar and motorbike track for Brad, 45.

‘The application has been received for widespread work on their new house,’ says Jean-Claude Sadion, mayor of the nearby town of Correns. 'And we are delighted that they will be here more permanently.

‘They are a wonderful couple with beautiful children and we will hold a civic reception to honour them.’

The property, which is surrounded by a moat, comes with its own vineyard, swimming pool and three-mile long driveway.

Brad and Angelina, 33, are parents to Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and one-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
