Richard Gere was accosted by a group of trespassing fans.

The actor and his wife have been inundated by fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the star since they renovated and started running a luxury hotel earlier this year.

On one occasion, Richard was forced to confront a team of women who were side-stepping along a high stone wall near the inn to be close to him.

He explained to W magazine: 'They just kept walking towards me, waving and saying: 'We've come on zee bus. We are from Monaco. Hello, Richard!'

'They had gone past six Do Not Enter signs. They were the ladies' garden tour from Monaco; they wanted pictures. I said, 'Get down from there!'.'
