Château de la Fontaine

41 Bois le Roi, 45210 Griselles, France

In the heart of the Gâtinais, in Griselles, Château de la Fontaine mainly hosts weddings in a private historic estate, around an hour from Paris. The château, its outbuildings and its seven-hectare park offer a choice of settings for the different stages of a celebration, from the ceremony to dinner and then time to relax the next day.

The 315 m² reception room can accommodate up to 250 seated guests. Its stone walls and exposed roof structure create a distinctive setting, while the terrace and park make it possible to plan an outdoor drinks reception or take photographs in leafy surroundings. A remarkable cedar tree provides a suitable setting for humanist ceremonies. The estate also includes an orangery arranged as a welcoming social space, as well as rooms set aside for the couple to get ready.

To extend their stay, up to 92 people can be accommodated in the château's bedrooms, dormitories and cottage. A bridal suite is also available for the couple. The rental includes some equipment and services, such as furniture, an on-site manager and Wi-Fi. Additional options are available, and the estate provides a list of recommended suppliers without requiring couples to use them. Organisers can therefore choose their own partners while making use of the services available on site. The venue is particularly suited to couples who want to bring the ceremony, reception and accommodation together in one estate, and offer their guests a wedding weekend in a heritage setting surrounded by the countryside.
