The mythical actress Brigitte Bardot had taken refuge in La Madrague, in the South of France, for several decades. A haven of peace that seems to have recently become hell for the 88-year-old former actress.
Its tranquility, we hold on to it. Especially when the house in which we live most of our time has become our haven of peace. The place where you can rest, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is what Brigitte Bardot found when she inherited La Madrague, near Saint-Tropez. A house that had been the subject of a song in 1962.
It is feet in the water, facing the sea, that BB finds refuge. Or should we say found refuge… Indeed, if more than ten years ago, the former actress could come incognito to put the time on pause, it seems that it is not the case today. La Madrague would have become today a tourist site which attracts many people which are located on the outskirts of the bay of Canebiers.
In recent days BB has been in the news because of its attacks published on Twitter against the Chevenet company and its 2,000 goats in Saint-Maurice-de-Satonnay, in Saône-et-Loire. A company recently singled out by the French association for the defense of animals L214 reports the Good public. The star demanded checks from the Minister of Agriculture…
Brigitte Bardot: why is she no longer quiet at La Madrague?
Today, Brigitte Bardot must adapt to the schedule of tourist visits. “BB has become accustomed to leaving La Madrague at the time of the first rotations of La Pouncho, the boat which offers summer visitors a guided tour of the bay“, thus reported The Sunday newspaper in its issue of October 29, 2022. And unfortunately for the star of the Contemptit’s not just tourists who can afford the luxury of coming closer to home.
All you need is a boat to get to La Madrague. And this, despite the security deployed to ensure his safety. The town hall has installed concrete poles which are supposed to prevent boats from crossing this limit. If they cross it, they risk six months in prison and a fine of 3,750 euros. Risks taken willingly.
“The boaters dived and moved the concrete pads securing the beacons under water. In July, the mayor, Sylvie Siri, who dined next to La Madrague, appreciated the behavior of some live: until the night, loud music on the boats… One evening, a guy yelled: ‘Brigitte, show us your ass!‘“, revealed the JDD.

Another problem encountered by Brigitte Bardot? Her very wealthy neighbors who have no scruples about organizing big events that will spoil the tranquility of the former actress and her husband Bernard d’Ormale. Among these events are the wedding of Elon Musk’s brother (Clivant businessman who recently became the new boss of Twitter). “Noria of trucks, delivery of the structures of a canopy to house the wedding dinner, five kiosks, furniture, flowers imported from Belgium: the unfortunate Estagnet road has suffered“, says the JDD.
And to add that BB has therefore decided to spend most of her time in her second refuge: She lives with her animals. La Madrague has belonged to his foundation for a long time. And if she chose Le Capon, it’s because this wild maquis was not well off. In the midst of cork oaks, mastic trees and arbutus trees, “La Garrigue is home to an unpretentious maisonette offering the calm that it does not find in Les Canoubiers.”
