The former country estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, will be auctioned off 19 June. The estate, known as Le Moulin de la Tuilerie, was bought by the Duke of Windsor in 1953 after he and his wife conducted a 3000 mile search for a suitable estate. By coincidence the Duchess was admitted to the Paris American Hospital the day the house came on sale
