Sources say the US pair are looking at a 16th century estate boasting 10 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, nestled in a commune.

Businesses have reportedly been sworn to secrecy about the couple’s potential arrival.
One local said: “Everyone is talking about and Jay-Z moving to the area.
“It’s all been shrouded in secrecy, with local businesses and tradespeople forced to sign non-disclosure agreements, but theirs are the names on everyone’s lips.”
Residents have reported a recent surge in private planes landing at the closest airport.
One source also told how a job description has gone on a local noticeboard for an experienced property manager working with VIP clients at an historic estate.
One of the requirements for the role is “absolute discretion”.
The superstar couple — worth a combined £1.5billion — in the Cotswolds, following the footsteps of several celebrities.
Planning permission was secured for the seven-bedroom property.
But insiders said the pair, who have three children together, turned their backs on the area after learning it was prone to flooding.
A source told The Sun: “Beyonce and Jay-Z buying this plot of land was the talk of the Cotswolds, so many locals were excited about them moving in.
“But the plan appears to have fallen through.”
Despite their snub the Cotswolds have attracted a raft of celebrities including , , , , , and .
TV host and wife Portia de Rossi also moved to the area and which they are selling for £22.5million.
