Chateau de Frenneville

What we Love

We love Château de Frenneville for its grandeur, capacity to host large weddings with up to 400 guests and its proximity to Paris. From the private helipad to the medieval chapel, it provides international couples with a fully immersive, luxurious French château wedding experience near the capital.

About the Venue

Château de Farcheville is a rare 13th-century fortress located just 45 minutes from Paris, offering a secluded and majestic setting for luxurious weddings. Spanning 250 hectares of pristine countryside, it is one of the few authentic medieval castles in the Île-de-France region to combine architectural heritage with contemporary refinement.

Once a noble residence, it has been exquisitely restored and now features original turrets, hidden passageways, and vaulted wine cellars, preserving its historic soul. The estate’s crown jewel is its fully equipped 600m² Orangerie, capable of hosting up to 400 seated guests with a dance floor. Couples can also hold ceremonies in the consecrated medieval chapel onsite.

The venue feels entirely private and secure — a self-contained world for high-end destination weddings. From exclusive hire options to tailored experiences, Château de Frenneville is ideal for couples seeking an elevated and unforgettable celebration with a deep connection to French history.
