Owner of a magnificent property at the tip of Cap Ferret according to New ObsGilles Lellouche has one (or rather two) neighbor(s) who is (are) not the most convenient. This is Benoît Bartherotte, a French stylist and businessman known for having carried out work without a permit at the tip of the Cape in order to fight against marine erosion. Having owned his house since 1985, the producer’s neighbor also hit the headlines in December 2015 after firing into the air at two fishermen who he claimed had entered his property.
Convicted of willful violence with a weapon in March 2019 and banned from possessing a weapon for a period of five years, the judges considered that he was in no way the owner of the dike and that he could not claim to deprive walkers of access the tip of Cap Ferret.
In 2001, he built without authorization a villa at the tip of Cap-Ferret which was ultimately destroyed after a court decision. He is also known to have had major legal problems with Bernard Tapie. A definitely not convenient neighbor.
