Chateau de Nandy

Posted by Olivier Lalin -

Now if I were to get married again sometimes soon - simply because my wedding is one of the most cherished memory i have -
And I often feel i should get married to my wife Yanique once a week ! This is where I might do it next time - Everything is Perfect ! The Chateau de Nandy was built in the 17th century.
It is grade 1 listed stately home situated at only 40 kms from Paris (under one hour drive). Beautiful garden and a large parkland of 97 acres surround the building.
Built in 1660 by the Marechal de Vitry, the chateau was designed for receptions and events, it does offer four big reception rooms all on the ground floor decorated with beautiful French paneling.
It would fit easily 220 people seated or 500 standing up for cocktail party.

Château de Breteuil

Posted by Olivier Lalin-

The Château de Breteuil (previously called the Château de Bevilliers) was built in the early 1600s and decorated principally in the 18th century. It is located in the Île-de-France and the département of Yvelines, France, 35 km (22 miles) to the south-west of Paris in the heart of the renowned Valley of Chevreuse. The château is set in a listed park of some 90 hectares.
The family of the Marquis de Breteuil who still lives there gave three ministers to the Kings of France.
The building compares with the Château of Dampierre-en-Yvelines by Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Like Chateau des Conde, Breteuil is a well favoured destination for a French Style wedding around Paris.

Chateau des Condé

Welcome to the kingdom of the Princes and Princesses of Condé; le Chateau des Condé . Imagine these historic walls to the south of Paris, as the setting for your Wedding Reception room: for one night, perhaps two, time stands still beneath a star-studded Renaissance sky in celebration of your marriage.
Those words are taken directly from the website- Simply because it is so French! It is a great Location for a lavish wedding " A la Francaise "though - And a beautiful little village named Vallery, only 45 mn away from Paris- I photographed a few weddings there and i DO love going back.
