Because what could be more romantic than a chateau for your elopement wedding in France?
Let’s dive in!
MEDIEVAL CHATEAUX
A medieval chateau is a fortified structure build and inhabited by kings and queens during medieval times and after.
RENAISSANCE CHATEAUX
Built after the 15th Century, these chateaux were built and inhabited by French Kings and artistocrats, are are oriented to comfort and beauty.
France has a very rich past and chateaux truly are scattered everywhere on its territory. However, some regions have more chateaux than the others. The Loire Valley is filled with Renaissance Chateaux, and the Ile de France (where Paris sits) also boasts with beautiful chateaux. Not all the chateaux you will see will be available for private receptions, as most of the chateaux in France are still private properties their owners don’t open to the public, however, you can rent more than 200 chateaux for your wedding in France, and that’s a lot to choose from!
