Questions couples ask

In France, a legal marriage takes place at the town hall, and one partner usually needs to have lived locally for at least 40 days. Most couples from abroad marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the château, which can be as personal as you like.

May, June and September are the most popular: long evenings and mild weather. The château also hosts weddings in autumn and winter, when dinner moves in front of the fires.

The château is about an hour from central Paris by car, or about 40 minutes by train from Gare de Lyon plus a short transfer.

Up to 180 guests for a seated dinner in the grand salon and up to 250 for drinks and dancing.
