This chateau is a truly unique wedding location. It is a real hidden gem and almost unknown among photographers and planners in Paris. It is one of our favorite locations. However, because this location is logistically more complex, there are a few important details we want to share so you fully understand how it works:
-It is a public park, can not be privatized. First, it is a large park and garden estate with two castles, and it is a public park. For this reason, we recommend scheduling your ceremony on a weekday super early.
-Extra cost for the Carousel package. Second, there is an additional cost of 200 euros. This fee is strictly for extra transportation and logistics, not for privatizing the venue. Please keep in mind that this location is slightly outside central Paris, even though it is officially within Paris boundaries, and it requires a longer drive both ways.
-Only for warm months. Please note that the garden is blooming only during the warm months, from the end of April until the end of September.
If this still feels aligned with your vision, it is an incredibly special and atmospheric place for a ceremony.

"This is one of the most romantic places ever and I love shooting elopements here, look at the photos and you will understand why..."

Plenty of nice angles and ideas for your ceremony and photos if you are a romance lover:
The location itself is very large, a full garden and park complex, which means it works beautifully both for a ceremony and for photos. If you decide to go with this chateau, it allows us to use 3 to 4 different spots within the same area. For example, you could have your ceremony with the Chateau of Marie Antoinette in the background and then do your photoshoot in the gardens. Or you could choose a ceremony with a flower arch and then take photos near the main chateau. This location works as a full experience, ceremony plus photoshoot.
Because the chateau is quite far, we would not travel there for photos only. If we go, it will always include both the ceremony and the photoshoot at the chateau.
In addition to this, you will be able to choose maximum one extra location for your Carousel package. For example, a ceremony and photos at the chateau and gardens, plus one Paris location such as Trocadero. This combination works beautifully and feels very balanced. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add more locations beyond that.
This chateau is truly one of the most beautiful and luxurious locations. If you are looking for something special, something not like everyone else, this is your place. It feels very exclusive, very rare, a real hidden diamond of a location.

The most luxurious and romantic of all the small castles near Paris with 3 to 4 areas!
Get ready to be amazed, we begin!
Please let us start with our favourite most romantic ceremony locations.
There are several iconic spots inside the park. 2 castles, by the way. Not just one, but two!
1) Garden chateau. One option is a garden chateau with a very classic, elegant French garden.. A castle with an orangerie, statues and beautiful pathways. In summer, everything is in full bloom and looks unreal. This is honestly one of the most beautiful gardens in Paris, and in our opinion, one of the most beautiful in the world:

You can stand in the center, place your guests around, and it feels like a movie scene:
Oh this view.... the symmetry for your wedding photos!
2) A pink castle. Another is a pink toned chateau with a large open lawn nearby. We can stand somewhere near the trees or closer to the castle:
3) Wedding arches. And then there is our personal favorite. The floral arches. Imagine a quiet park, very few tourists, usually five to ten people across the entire area because most visitors do not even know this place exists. And inside this park, there are stunning arches covered in flowers. You are standing under a natural wedding arch made of real flowers and roses. It already looks like a fully styled ceremony setup:
These white rose arches can be an amazing spot for your romantic ceremony
The best part is that you do not need to pay extra for this floral arch for your ceremony. It already exists. You can match your bridal bouquet to these flowers and have a ceremony under a rose covered arch in a breathtaking French garden, without additional decoration costs. More photos of these arches:
4) French gazebo. There is also a beautiful gazebo inside the park. Some of our brides have chosen this option for their ceremony. The couple stands inside the gazebo, while the guests stay outside. The officiant can be positioned either inside or outside as well. Overall, it is a very sweet and intimate setup:
If a gazebo ceremony fits your vision, this option works perfectly and feels very French. At the same time, we understand that gazebos are not very trendy in recent years, and most couples now prefer more natural floral installations within a chateau setting. Still, this option might resonate with some couples, so we wanted to share it with you:
5) Rose garden. The last ceremony location we would love to show you is the rose garden. You can see it from the gazebo with a panoramic view, but you can also have both the ceremony and the photoshoot directly among the roses, in any spot you like:
The quiet and romantic rose garden
That's it. We hope you loved this place! One more thing to think about is your elopement style. The vibe of this location is extremely romantic, truly next level. Honestly, it is one of the most romantic places we have ever seen. Think Marie Antoinette inspired French romance, roses, summer light, refined flowers, and that soft feeling of being in love. Keeping this aesthetic in mind will help you plan everything in one cohesive and beautiful direction. No dark bouquets, no loud accessories. Go with a lace or modern fashion dress, a nice simple rose bouquet and a classic tux. Natural makeup, maybe a soft glam, glossy lip, vow books with a white bow, rose champagne...
PS Here is our quick tip. If you are unsure whether this location will suit your face and skin tone, you can actually ask ChatGPT for help. Pay attention to the color palette of this place. It is a park with cool toned greenery, light olive and dark olive shades, very classic French green tones. This type of greenery usually works best with cool undertone skin. It especially complements Soft Summer, Summer, and Winter color types. So if you are not sure whether light stone and this kind of greenery will work well with your complexion, you can upload screenshots of the location together with your photo to ChatGPT and ask for a color analysis.
