The Obamas Are Celebrating Sasha Obama’s Graduation And 18th Birthday Like Royalty

The former first family is living large.

Barack and Michelle Obama, accompanied by kids Sasha and Michelle, reportedly traveled to Avignon in the south of France on Friday (June 14) for a week’s vacation — but the former First Family doesn’t quite vacay like the rest of us.

Touching down on a private jet, the Obamas are staying at a luxurious 18th century farmhouse on Bathelasse Island. The four will get their R&R at the palatial Le Mas des Poiriers, which will reportedly cost them 55,000 euros for the week ($60,000).

The property sits on 65 acres, which will provide some needed seclusion and privacy for the Obamas during their stay. Security detail from the Gard regional police as well as the US Secret Service will also surround the residence.

The Obama family is reportedly celebrating Sasha Obama’s graduation from high school, which happened just days ago. She also turned 18 last Monday.
