A neoclassical pleasure pavilion designed by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux has reportedly sold just west of Paris after years on the market. Built in 1771 for Madame du Barry, the last official mistress of Louis XV, the Pavillon de Musique du Barry remains one of the most architecturally significant heritage estates to trade hands in recent years.

Designed by the renowned interior architect and decorator Frédéric Méchiche, this unique villa is located not in Morocco, but in Provence, set in the heart of the Var just 20 minutes from the sea and the Toulon/Hyères airport.
