A visibly tanned Jacquemus may also be espied lounging in a shady ordinary room—"television TIME AT domestic :) GOING to observe MON ONCLE by TATI," his caption reads, referencing a classic French comedy highlighting an equally irregular indoors—enjoying the view from an infinity pool overlooking the French Riviera; and testing out two of the home's funky, monochromatic bedroom suites (there are ten in all).
