Ladies, we would be very grateful if you could support the color palette of our wedding.
The domain of the castle are paved with gravel so we advise you to bring a pair of comfortable shoes.
Gentlemen, please wear a suit.
Dear family and friends, For those who would like to do some sightseeing during this weekend, here are a few suggestions. Our region is rich in castles, here are a few within 30 minutes of Bourgueil:
- Azay-le-Rideau Castle by the Indre River
- Villandry Castle with very beautiful gardens
- Rigny-Ussé Castle
- Fontevrault Abbey
- Further away, there is the Chenonceau Castle (beautifully furnished with large gardens).
Cities and villages: - Chinon is a medieval town with a royal fortress and very beautiful houses.
- Saumur is a lively and commercial town, you can go up to the castle (the visit is not interesting) and enjoy the view of the town and the Loire River.
- The tourist route along the Loire River passing through Candes Saint Martin (ranked among the most beautiful villages in France), Montsoreau then Turquant (troglodytes are discovered in all their originality, particularly at the Village des Métiers d'Art)
And the
wine cellars of course! For a nice guided tour with tasting, we like:
- In Saumur: Ackerman and Gratien Meyer cellars
- But there are also many winegrowers in Chinon. In Bourgueil, on August 15th, there is the Loire wine fair with tasting and food stalls in the streets of the town.
Accommodation: we are proposing accommodation on the domain of the castle, the cost is 150 euros for 2 nights. Each room has 1 shower, 1 double bed and 2 singles beds. (We can share pictures of them by message) Due to limited availability, we kindly inform you that accommodations will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dormitory: there will be a free dormitory for those who unexpectedly cannot drive back after the party, it is a room with around 10 single beds.
We love presents as much as anyone else , but we’ll be taking the train right after the event, and carrying a mountain of gifts might turn our journey into an unexpected workout!
If you’d like to make us happy without giving us a reason to visit a chiropractor, we’d gladly accept contributions to our travel fund instead. Your love and support mean the world to us!
