A wonderful place for a bride & groom to not only have an unforgettable experience but close enough to Paris to have an adventure. My bride & groom from Japan loved this place and to this day I will always think how wonderful everything (except the rain of course) was. The staff is fantastic and the bonus (for me as a photographer anyway) how accomodating they were to my every requests . Something that is not usual in the industry nowadays. Fantastic in every way. Highly recommend
Set in a grand 16th-century chateau on 60 hectares of private parkland, this luxe hotel is 7.8 km from Auneau and 24.1 km from the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres.
