Audrey Hepburn’s Sons Reflect on Her Life in Switzerland: ‘She Would Pick Fruit and Make Jams’


Audrey Hepburn's sons reflected on her life in Switzerland and exclusively tell Closer what she 'loved' the most about her beloved home there of 30 years.

On her 60th birthday in 1989, Audrey Hepburn ’s dear friend, designer Hubert de Givenchy, sent her 60 white rose bushes to be planted in her garden in Tolochenaz, Switzerland. From 1963 when the Breakfast at Tiffany ’s star purchased it until her death in 1993, the estate, which sits behind a stone wall on a well-traveled street of the French-speaking village, was her beloved retreat. In 1993, Givenchy flew Audrey and her partner Robert Wolders from Los Angeles where she was being treated for cancer to Tolochenaz, so she could enjoy one last season at La Paisible.
