La Madrague, the legendary seaside house of Brigitte Bardot in Saint-Tropez, is set to open its doors to the public from next summer.

The Fondation Bardot, the animal welfare foundation created by the actress, announced the news on Friday 13 November. The former fishermen's house, where Bardot lived until her death, will be open to small groups, by reservation only. It will be shown in its original state, the foundation said.

The house already belongs to the foundation. Bardot donated it back in 1992, as part of her commitment to animal welfare. She died at home in the south of France on 28 December 2025, aged 91, prompting tributes across the country.

For now, the details are not final. The foundation says the practical arrangements for welcoming visitors have not yet been precisely set. Further information is expected closer to the opening in summer 2027.
