Melissa George shares sweet picture of her rarely-seen son from a lavish 17th-century French chateau…

Melissa George has shared a sweet photograph of her rarely-seen son, just months after welcoming her third child.

The Home and Away actress, 47, posted a black and white image of her son at a stunning French property to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.

Melissa shares sons Raphaël, 10, and Salal, eight, with her ex-partner, French tech mogul Jean-David Blanc, who she split from in 2016.

She shocked fans earlier this year by announcing the birth of her third son, whose name and father are not yet known.

In the new picture, one of Melissa’s eldest sons – who she did not name – sat on a kitchen stool, wearing pajamas and an apron, with his face turned away from the camera.

‘My precious love as a Provence chef,’  she wrote alongside the image of her son – who rarely features on her Instagram page.

The adorable photograph was taken in a stunning 17th-century French chateau in Provence, where she is currently staying.

She has given fans a glimpse into the luxurious boutique hotel Callemant d’Autane on her Instagram, sharing an array of pictures from the property during her visits over the last year.

The sprawling accommodation is an eight-bedroom, six-bathroom chateau, renovated by Paris-based designer Diego Delgado-Elias.

According to the listing on Boutique Hotels, the private rental is only available on request, while the Instagram account is also private, and no prices are listed publicly.

In April, Melissa posted another image of one of her sons playing in the gardens and she has previously described the 17th-century noble residence as her ‘dream’.

In another post, the actress shared a family snap taken in the chateau’s kitchen, which she called a ‘happiness overload, four times over’.

‘My sons and their Australian grandparents all together at home with chef,’ she captioned the photo.

It is unclear if her family has taken up a semi-permanent resident in the village of Visan in Provence, or travel there on regular holidays from the French capital.

Perth-born Melissa has long lived in Paris, but previously admitted she would ‘love to have an Australian husband’.

However in 2020, she said she has no plans to move back Down Under, as she shares custody of her two eldest children with Jean David following a bitter custody battle.

Earlier this year, she shocked fans by announcing she had welcomed her third child, sharing the news to Instagram at the time.

‘Welcome to the world my little man,’ the 30 Days of Night actress wrote to announce his birth alongside a sweet photograph of the little one’s feet.

‘Love knows no end. A mother of 3 sons. Cannot believe it. My heart is so full.’

The actress got her start on Australia’s longest-running soap at age 16, starring as Angel on Home and Away.

Following a move to the US in 1997, her star continued to rise as she landed roles in David Lynch’s cult noir thriller Mulholland Drive with Naomi Watts, alongside coveted parts on globally-famous TV series such as Alias, Friends, The Good Wife, and In Treatment, which she received a Golden Globe nomination for in 2009.
