SOCIALITE Ghislaine Maxwell was said to be hiding at a chateau in France last night to avoid being questioned about Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell, 54, is reportedly at her former family home in Meyreuil in the south of France. It is not known who now owns it.

The claim was reported by website Politicalite amid the ongoing mystery over her whereabouts.

The Sun has offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to us successfully making direct contact with her in person.

She is accused of finding victims for the late paedophile billionaire — a pal of Prince Andrew, 60.

The socialite is the one who introduced Andrew to Epstein and they became friends for more than a decade.

Ghislaine Maxwell has not been seen in public since a photograph emerged of her at an ‘In N Out’ burger restaurant in Los Angeles a week after Epstein killed himself last July.

She was also reportedly living at the home of a former boyfriend in Massachusetts but she was not photographed there.

Earlier this year, Maxwell sued Epstein’s estate and demanded that he pay her legal fees as he supposedly promised to do.

In a legal filing last week the estate said it would be willing to include her in a release all the victims will sign when they get compensation, effectively giving her immunity from civil claims.

French citizen Maxwell has always denied any wrongdoing.
