Villa Windsor, Private mansion in Bois de Boulogne, France.

The Villa Windsor stands as a three-story Georgian mansion with fourteen rooms surrounded by gardens at the northwest edge of Paris.

The French government offered the property to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1953 following their exile from Britain after Edward VIII's abdication.

The interior decoration by Maison Jansen features oriental screens, tapestries, and frescoes that reflect the refined preferences of its royal residents.

The Mansart Foundation manages the property and plans to open it to visitors during the Jardins, Jardin festival in summer 2024.

The desk where King Edward VIII signed his abdication papers remained in the villa until the 1997 Sotheby's auction of Windsor possessions.
