we love...
We love how Château Bouffémont blends the elegance of a grand French château with the warmth and intimacy of a private home — it’s opulent, but never overdone. Once home to the Marquise de Preignes and Baron Empain, this historic gem has hosted Parisian nobility since the 19th century, and you can still feel that legacy woven through every room and detail.

What's so special about Château Bouffémont?
Château Bouffémont | French Wedding Grandeur Just Outside Paris
Just 30km from central Paris — and only 20 minutes from Charles de Gaulle Airport — Château Bouffémont feels like a world away. Set in the heart of the Montmorency Forest with panoramic views over the Jack Nicklaus-designed Paris International Golf Club, this grand 19th-century estate is a peaceful and private escape with serious fairytale energy.
Once home to the Marquise de Preignes and Baron Empain, the château was known for hosting Parisian high society — and today, it still has that same magic. After a meticulous renovation, it’s now available exclusively for private hire, offering a setting that’s equal parts opulent and intimate.
With five grand reception rooms, nine elegant suites, and beautifully tiered gardens across five hectares of private land, Château Bouffémont is ideal for a weekend-long wedding celebration. Whether you’re dreaming of an alfresco ceremony surrounded by forest, a glamorous dinner indoors, or dancing beneath chandeliers, it’s all possible — and all yours.
To make things effortless, the château has partnered with wedding planner Marie Di Lauro of Momento Mio to offer curated wedding packages designed for 45–110 guests. These stress-free celebrations include everything from pre-dinner cocktails and floral design to furniture, staff, and a show-stopping wedding cake. With an average budget starting at €55,000, it’s a beautifully polished, high-touch experience without the overwhelm.
We love how Château Bouffémont combines refined French grandeur with total privacy. It’s luxurious, yes — but with a warmth that makes it feel like your own home for the weekend (just one with 2,000sqm of living space and the soul of Parisian nobility).
Nearest Airports: Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) just 20 min (26.4 km) and just 21 min (28.2 km) from Paris Airport-Le Bourget (LBG)

don't miss...
Don’t miss the golden hour ceremony on the château’s manicured lawn — with the forest behind you, the château as your backdrop, and the Parisian light dipping just right, it’s the kind of moment that feels lifted from a dream (and looks just as good in the photos).

Transportation
Big cities such as Paris have a metro but most locations have cheap and accessible public transport, such as trains and buses. Taxis are easy to find or call – available taxis are often indicated by a blue or white light.
Public Holidays
The French treat Christmas, Easter and New Year as serious holidays, as well as VE Day (8th May), Bastille Day (14th July), Armistice Day (11th November) and various saints days (e.g. All Saints' Day on 1st November).
Good Time to Go
Late May - Early October
good to know
If you're flexible with your Wedding date, late Spring (April/May) & early Autumn (Oct), just outside of High Season can be slightly cheaper when booking a venue. You will find late June & September dates book up quickly - these are the preferred months to celebrate a wedding in France.
