George and Amal Clooney were a long way from their English country home and all the better for it on Wednesday after the £15million property succumbed to yet more flooding.

The couple looked every inch a superstar couple as they stepped out in the south of France, where they reportedly own a property in the Provence countryside.

The Ocean's Eleven star, 62, looked dashing in jeans and a padded jacket paired with a cap and sunglasses, while the Lebanese-British lawyer, 46, made a statement in flared jeans with a slash that reached the pipe reached.

The couple enjoyed a walk and a drive through an idyllic area on the Cote d'Azur after reportedly moving house.

And the mild weather on the country's south coast may have been the tonic after their riverside estate in Berkshire was lashed by heavy rain, leaving the surrounding fields almost completely submerged.

After walking hand in hand down the road, the couple, who share twins Ella and Alexander, 6, hopped into George's £69k Mercedes-Benz AMG E53 Coupé to fill up with petrol before heading off in style.

Amal looked typically chic in her jeans, which she paired with flats, a tight black T-shirt and a leather jacket alongside stylish sunglasses.

George, meanwhile, rocked off-duty star style, complete with a dark polo shirt, padded jacket, light wash jeans and suede Chelsea boots.

Their appearance follows speculation that George and Amal have now moved permanently to the Cote d'Azur and no longer spend time at their Thames country house in Sonning, Berkshire.

The couple is said to have lived at the 18th century Domaine du Canadel for several months.

And according to locals, they haven't been seen in the Grade II listed building in Britain – which they bought in 2014 and spent millions renovating – for two years.

The Berkshire manor has endured a series of severe floods due to its proximity to the Thames.

It happened just under a year after heavy rain caused muddy water to flood the gardens – and marks at least the sixth time the house has been plagued by burst banks since the couple tore down the stately post in 2014.

The Clooneys were hit by flooding in January when the tennis court, veranda and most of the previously lush lawn were submerged by the filthy waters of the nearby river.

Storm Christoph saw water seeping onto the lawn in January 2021, but the deluge stopped close to the house itself.

But February 2020's Storm Dennis left the Hollywood star's tennis courts, his summer home's veranda and most of his lawn completely flooded.

In 2018, the lawn was flooded with water after two inches of rain fell over the April bank holiday weekend.

And in 2016 there was weeks of heavy rain, with the Thames overflowing its banks and flowing into the garden, threatening to invade the house shortly after its multi-million pound renovation.

Meanwhile, their idyllic French estate is surrounded by 25 hectares of vineyards and features a swimming pool, tennis court, pétanque court, olive grove and ornamental lake.

The Clooneys, who married in Venice six years ago, also have a luxury home on the shores of Lake Como in Italy.

George purchased Villa Oleandra from the Heinz family in 2002 and spends most summers at the property, which features a basketball court, movie theater and a garage full of vintage motorcycles.

It has hosted a range of stars including Jennifer Aniston and Matt Damon, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Parts of Clooney's film Ocean's Twelve were also filmed there. There were reports that Clooney would sell it, but he says these are untrue.

In addition to their real estate, George recently surprised his wife Amal on her 46th birthday with a Saint Bernard puppy named Nelson

Nelson is not the first Saint Bernard the family has owned. Four years ago, George brought along puppy Rosie, named after his late aunt, actress and singer Rosemary Clooney.

He is also known for rescuing animals, who eventually travel the world with him. He previously owned cocker spaniel Einstein, who died in 2017, and the couple have since rescued basset hound Millie and Louie, another spaniel.
