Brigitte Bardot's personal belongings to be auctioned

Personal items that once belonged to French actress and animal welfare activist Brigitte Bardot are being auctioned in Paris.

A total of over 280 items from the estate of the film icon, who died in 2025 at the age of 91, will go under the hammer on Monday, according to the Millon auction house.

The items come from Bardot's properties in Saint-Tropez - La Madrague and La Garrigue - as well as from her Paris flat on Rue de la Tour.

Also up for auction is and Olivetti typewriter on which Bardot wrote the second volume of her memoirs, Repetto ballet shoes, portraits and numerous small everyday objects.

The proceeds will go to the Fondation Brigitte Bardot and her only son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier.

Bardot rose to international fame in 1956 with the release of the film And God Created Woman, which instantly created her "sex kitten" image.

After retiring from the film industry, she devoted herself to animal welfare and founded the Fondation Brigitte Bardot in 1986.
