In the early 1990s, fashion designer Pierre Cardin bought the property as a luxury holiday home and since then, it has played host to plenty of notable events, including a Dior fashion show and the James Bond 40th birthday party.

Occasionally, the estate has been rented out to private individuals for an estimated £879 ($1.1k/€1.1k) per person, per night. Likely due to the home's price tag, the property failed to find a buyer and in 2017 it was still for sale, according to Architectural Digest. Sadly, Pierre Cardin passed away in December 2020, leaving many to worry about what will become of his iconic former home.
