Normandy
Château de Courtomer
Courtomer, Orne, Normandy (2 hours from Paris)
A private 18th-century château hired exclusively by the week or long weekend, with no curfews.
A privately owned château at the edge of the Perche, hired only one couple at a time. The estate has hosted weddings for American, British and Irish families since the current owners reopened it, and there are no standard packages — every event is bespoke.
Hire is by the long weekend or full week, which suits guests travelling from further afield. The Orangerie handles the reception, ceremonies can take place outdoors on the bridge, steps or in the woodland, and the owners' detailed FAQ and supplier brief are written entirely in English.
