She continues: “He’s a head of the family too, with his place. The lord in the good sense of the word. He protects his brood, he protects his house, he is not there to show off (…) I think that he is a being who could have lived a few centuries ago and who would have had the life of a warrior, a leader and at the same time, he is someone so available, so tender. I don't think many people know him like that. » Although they separated after more than ten years together, they remained close friends. In Aix-en-Provence, the house remains but is not open to visitors.

In addition to this residence in Aix, Alain Delon lived most of his life at the Château de Douchy, in the Loiret. The property was acquired by the actor in the early 1970s, and he lived there with Mireille Darc and their 14 dogs, all of whom were later buried in the property's garden. The French cinema legend also had an apartment in the west of Paris, a huge triplex with a view of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Located on Avenue du Président-Kennedy, the Art Deco-inspired apartment had an area of 780 square meters. “So, what’s it like at Alain Delon’s?” » a 1 p.m. presenter asked the actor in 1987 during a program filmed at his home, then archived by the INA. The host answers the question himself: “It is the home of an art lover and precisely among the paintings and objects, bronzes of which he is very proud. » And for good reason, the famous bronze works are signed Rembrandt Bugatti, one of the greatest animal sculptors in the world. Royal tigers and lions coexist in Alain Delon's Parisian apartment on Quai Kennedy.
