Hidden within 51 hectares of private forest and parkland, Chateau des Contes feels like a world of its own. Built in 1887, its grand façade, slate turrets and beautifully preserved interiors give it all the character of a true French fairytale chateau. Inside, carved oak, rich tapestries, antique furniture and crystal chandeliers create an atmosphere that is opulent yet inviting. With exclusive use of the entire estate, couples can make this remarkable setting entirely their own for a luxury wedding near Paris.
A Fairytale Chateau Wedding near Paris
A wedding at Chateau des Contes unfolds naturally across the estate, with a different backdrop for every part of the celebration.
Exchange your vows on the lawn, framed by the chateau’s turrets and formal gardens, or choose a more secluded ceremony beneath the trees.
Cocktails can follow beside the lake, within the grounds or in the crimson-toned Grand Salon, where crystal chandeliers and a carved marble fireplace set the scene for an elegant gathering. Dinner can be arranged outdoors or beneath a marquee for up to 200 guests, before everyone moves to the light-filled Orangerie, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and a grand piano, for dancing.
Beyond the main celebration, the estate’s woodland paths, tree-lined alleys and lake provide wonderful opportunities for photos and relaxed moments with your guests.
From Summer 2027, guests will also be able to enjoy a heated swimming pool and an outdoor spa.
