7 years to the day after the disappearance of Johnny Hallyday, his former house in Marne-la-Coquette, named La Savannahstill does not find a buyer. Located in this charming and chic village just 20 km west of Paris, this luxurious property, purchased by Johnny and Laeticia in 1999, remains unsold despite a spectacular drop in its initial price, according to the newspaper Le Parisien.
The Savannah is nestled in a gated residential area, offering complete tranquility and optimal security. This villa is surrounded by land of almost 10.000m² and offers an impressive living space of 1.100m²spread over three floors. She has five bedroomsof a poolof a tennis courtof a cinema roomand much more. Renovated in the 1980s, it reflects the luxury and comfort that characterized the famous rocker's lifestyle.
The death of Johnny Hallyday in 2017 transformed La Savannah into a place of pilgrimage for his fans. That day, many admirers went there to lay flowers in tribute to their idol. However, this media aura seems to be an obstacle to its sale. Initially on sale at 26 million eurosThe Savannah is now offered at 10.5 million eurosbut buyers are still wanting.

Media pressure
According to Nicolas Hug, a former mandated agent, interviewed by The Parisianthere were indeed those interested, but a major obstacle persists: “the attention and lmedia pressure were a real concern and put off several buyers who could have paid a very good price” he explains. Especially since there are on the market “similar properties attracting much less attention and which they can acquire for 3 or 4 million euros per month” according to the real estate agent.
Once popular with celebrities, Marne-la-Coquette has seen many of them leave, perhaps tired of the over-media coverage. The Savannah, despite its history and its prestige, therefore remains a symbol of this village, but also a real estate headache for Laeticia Hallyday.
