Destination Weddings in Boulogne
The sprawling Bois de Boulogne borders Paris to the west and boasts an incredible choice of perfect settings for a destination wedding. Almost any kind of reception can be organized in the Bois – which means ‘woods’ in French - and which was the hunting ground of the kings of France reaching back over 20 centuries.
Start off by having your wedding guests board a small open-roofed train that will wind them down to the Jardin d’Acclimatation where jungle gyms, a miniature golf course, bowling alleys and traditional rides for kids abound. But not to worry, the park closes especially for you so there’s no waiting in line! Choose from one of several venues within the park to celebrate your union and even treat your guests to a spin on the merry-go-round during cocktails!
If you prefer something a bit more serious, head to the Bagatelle section of the Bois, the former hideaway of the royals who wanted a bit of peace and quiet. Along with the main building at Bagatelle is the impressive rose garden which bears over 150 varieties of the flower. The surrounding gardens are at times vast and intimate, shaded and sun-drenched.
Myriad restaurants and reception halls can be found throughout the Bois including the famous Pre-Catalan restaurant, one of France’s best tables. Few settings in the Paris area are as romantic as this; and best of all there are facilities for every size group.
In the Hauts de Seine region of which the Bois is part, there are several other towns which hold plenty of old world charm. In all, with 7,000 hectares of open space and 180 kilometers of hiking and walking trails your guests will love the tranquility of the Hauts de Seine where even Chateaubriand came to relax.
There are 174 hotels in the area whose main towns include Neuilly, Boulogne, St Cloud, Reuil Malmaison, Sevres, Suresnes, Meudon and Levallois. Our staff will help you select the perfect location for an memorable French wedding celebration.
