Angelina JolieThe ‘Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt moving to France’ rumours have been fuelled after the celebrity couple reportedly made an offer on a 850 year old property in Provence.

The pair first looked at the $20million property in Eygalieres last year but are said to have lost interest after they were told Brad would not be given permission to build a motorbike circuit in the five-acre grounds.

A source has now told Us Weekly: “As soon as they found out it was now possible, they jumped at the chance [to buy it].”

A source at the American Hospital in Paris added that Angelina has been having “long conversations” with staff about using the hospital’s facilities when she gives birth to her fifth (and possibly sixth) child later this year: “Angelina knows all about our reputation. She is certain she’d be happy giving birth here.”

The couple, with children Maddox and Zahara, spent several months in Paris on the run up to the birth of their daughter Shiloh in May 2006 but relocated to Namibia for the last few weeks and the birth itself. The family, including fourth child Pax, are currently based in Texas while Brad films Tree of Life.
