Brad And Angelina on the Move in Monaco

The wealthy and film stars have often proclaimed their love for Europe, and France in particular. Now, Hollywood super-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are looking to set up a holiday haven on the French Riviera. They were recently spotted strolling the beaches while reportedly shopping for a private villa.

Jolie and Pitt have become more than entertainers. In fact, Time Magazine's recent 100 Most Influential List describes them as heroes and pioneers. On a recent trip to Monaco, they met up with fellow humanitarian The Edge while hunting for a holiday home. While they were looking in Monaco at the time, Jolie and Pitt have often expressed their love for France. Jolie wants to have a permanent French base, so the couple is looking for the perfect place to raise their children.

Their twins were born in mid-July in Nice, in the south of France, just twenty minutes from Monaco. The twins weighed around five pounds each and were delivered by Caesarean section. Pitt stayed by his partner's side while she was in labor and through the entire operation. Mother, father and babies are said to be doing well.

Jolie gave one of the twins the middle name Marcheline, in honor of her French-Canadian mother who died in 2007. Though her mother was often identified as French, Jolie insists that her mother was "as far from French Parisian as you can get." Jolie's second son, Pax, also received his name from a suggestion by Marcheline shortly before her death.

Jolie and Pitt have had both commercial and critical success in their careers. Jolie's early career is marked by technological-thrillers such as Hackers and made-for-cable-movies like Gia, for which she received an Emmy nomination. She won an Oscar for her role in Girl Interrupted, before becoming box-office royalty with her role as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider films. After a few years in commercially successful, yet artistically unfulfilling films, she returned to form in 2007's A Mighty Heart.

Pitt spent much of his early career in small roles in films like Thelma and Louise and True Romance, until his star-making turn in The Legends of the Fall opposite Anthony Hopkins. He went on to receive accolades for his work in Twelve Monkeys, Seven Years in Tibet, and the Devil's Own. He has chosen his work carefully, but has still had ups and downs in his career. The Ocean's series kept him on top of the box office, while riskier films like The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford brought him great critical reviews, as well.

While Jolie and Pitt look for a place to call home in France, they'll keep busy by shooting films and shooing away the paparazzi, easier to do when staying in Monaco hotels as it's easier to police than hotels elsewhere. Pictures of the twins fetch a fortune, and they'll want to keep press away while the boy and girl are so young. Wherever they end up living, whether in Monaco or France, they'll be enjoying one of the greatest areas in Europe.

Every move made by Brad and Angelina is highly documented by international press. Their decision to raise their children in France will likely inspire many other parents to consider the advantages offered by European nations like Monaco and France to young families looking for great places to help their children learn and grow into successful adults like them.
