Sean Connery's incredible £25million mansion in the French Rivera has gone on sale. The James Bond icon died in his sleep at age of 90 on Saturday, his family confirmed. He lived in the glamorous home in the 1980s and 90s and it's still called 'Sean's place' by locals after all this time. The 1920s home was built on a hillside and boasts stunning views overlooking the sea in Cap de Nice and the Mediterranean Sea.

It is set in 24-acre grounds with two extra guest houses, and was used to film scenes in Bond movie Never Say Never Again in 1983. The property has five bedrooms, three reception rooms, five bathrooms and a gym and fitness room. There are two swimming pools, one of which is a salt-water pool.
