Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took to the skies this weekend, whisking daughter Zahara off for a helicopter ride around France on Saturday. The couple, who are hunkering down in St. Jean Cap Ferrat at the historic villa owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, appeared to be house hunting, according to reports.

The next day, the expectant parents and their entire brood – daughters Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 1, and sons Maddox, 6, and Pax, 4 – stayed closer to home, visiting Bono's waterfront home at Eze, France, about 15 minutes from Mr. Allen's compound. While their weekend may sound glamorous, one local source insists they're just like any other family on vacation: "Eating, taking naps and swimming in the pool."

Later this month, Ms. Jolie is scheduled to walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for two films, Kung Fu Panda and The Changeling.
