Prudence Bury has put her home in France up for sale. Prue says it’s time to downsize, but “Oh how I hate that expression.” Here is a link where you can see her property, which includes a separate guest/vacation house, called a gîte.

Kudos to Microsoft’s Bing for coming up with this link that Google missed, about the Beatles Weekend held in Ouistreham, Normandy, France back in November. But I wish there were more of Prue in the video.
