The Domaine de Terre Blanche is located at Tourrettes, Var just southeast of Fayence in the Provence region of France. Sean Connery owned the property[1] for 20 years before he sold the Chateau and its surrounding 266 hectares to Dietmar Hopp[2] in 1999[3]. Hopp has transformed the property into an exclusive golf resort with luxury properties, two championship golf courses, the Four Seasons Resort Provence at Terre Blanche and a world class spa. It was ranked as 5th in the CNN Money dream vacation home guide[4]. The Domaine is 30-45 minutes by car from Cannes, Nice and St Tropez, and one hour from Monaco.
