Visited and selected by Chateau Bee

The motto of Chateau Challain is “where the fairytale begins…”—and it couldn’t be more fitting. Recently voted one of the top 10 wedding venues in France, Chateau Challain is the ultimate fairy tale wedding castle and a VIP destination just a stone’s throw from Paris.

When we first visited this Loire Valley chateau, we were instantly transported to the world of Beauty and the Beast—we could almost imagine plates and teapots coming to life! We fell in love with its spiral staircase, the exquisite wood-carved furniture, and the grand, magnificent bedrooms.

Every space, from the kitchen to the lounge, is nothing short of sumptuous. The reception room is just as you’d imagine: opulent and magical. For your ceremony, the impressive church beside the chateau offers a stunning option.

If you prefer an outdoor celebration, there are countless beautiful spots to host a lavish wedding dinner under the open sky. The photos speak for themselves!

Cynthia, the American owner, will be like your fairy godmother, using a wand to make all your wishes, whatever they might be, come true.

With its 365 windows (one for each day), 52 fireplaces (one for each week) and 12 turrets (one or each month), as you might have guessed, a place where magic truly happens…
