Megastar couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their four children have traveled to the south of France where they will stay for some time, People magazine reported.

It cited an unidentified source who said Jolie, who is newly pregnant, arrived in Nice late on Monday with her family, two nannies and three bodyguards and then drove to a seaside villa in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, on the cote d'Azur.

The villa belongs to multimillionaire Paul Allen, a Microsoft co-founder along with Bill Gates.

The couple are in France for "a stay of long duration", the source added.

The magazine said Jolie will stay with Pitt during the 14 to 25 May Cannes Film Festival to promote 'Kung Fu Panda', and Clint Eastwood's 'The Changeling'.

Although gossip columns say Jolie is pregnant with twins and plans to give birth in France, People magazine made no reference to the rumours.

Jolie (32) and Pitt (44) are adoptive parents of Maddox, six, from Cambodia; Pax, four, from Vietnam, and Zahara, three, from Ethiopia. Their first birth daughter, Shiloh, was born May 2006 in Namibia.

The couple met in 2005 on the set of 'Mr and Mrs Smith'. Shortly after the film's opening, Pitt separated from his wife of five years, actress Jennifer Aniston, to live with Jolie.
