married in the romantic country of France! With both its warm countryside beauty
and cosmopolitan urban appeal, France will provide you with countless options
for your wedding, whether you envision a chic, contemporary ceremony in Paris,
or a more traditional celebration in the Rhone Valley. The country of France is
officially comprised of 22 regions. Several
mountainous and hilly regions, including the Alps, Pyrenees, and Vosges mountain
ranges, along with the Rhone Valley.
the Mediterranean coast, which boasts the popular French Riviera. The
Northern regions, which include the capital city of Paris. The
Southern regions, which include the area of Provence (with the cities of Marseilles
and Avignon), the city of Cannes, and the beautiful island chain of Côte d'Azur. The
central area that boasts the regions of Burgundy, Champagne, and the Loire Valley,
all renowned for their wine production, among other things; and of course the
historically-known Northern areas of Normandy and Brittany. The
Loire Valley stretches south and west of Paris, centering on Orleans. It
is a beautiful, rolling plain of farms, aristocratic country estates, and of course
the beautiful chateaux from centuries past. It is easily reached from Paris as
a guided daytrip, but we recommend taking your time and enjoying the hospitality
and local produce a chateau-hotel can offer you.
Provence
is an evocative, romantic district of rich hills, valleys, and mountains north
of the French Riviera. It is home to historic towns including Aix, Arles, and
Avignon, all featuring beautiful religious architecture and thriving country markets.
Provence is easily accessible via the high-speed TGV trains from Paris, or by
car from Nice, but really requires a car to get around. The largely untouristed
southwest of France is characterized by the lovely limestone valleys of the Dordogne,
the cave-riddled hills of Perigord, the farms, ruins, markets, and wine cellars
of Bordeaux and Toulouse, and the Pyrenees Mountains, with considerable Basque
and Spanish influence in culture and cuisine. This is an excellent region to connect
with Barcelona or Bilbao in Spain by car or train. Nice is gateway to the Cote
d'Azur, one of the most beautiful coastlines of the Mediterranean, with narrow
sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs. While well-developed for tourism, many areas
of the coast are not quite as crowded as metropolitan nice itself, and quiet afternoons
in open-air cafes can be found in Cannes, St-Tropez, and Cap-Martin. The
Cote d'Azur is ideal for a waterfront resort escape and hobnobbing with the
international jetset, but also perfectly combinable with Provence or even the
calmer Italian Riviera. Monaco is worth a special trip from France, the little
principality dramatically embraced by cliffs coming down to meet the sea. It features
one of the best opera houses in Europe, and its casino is known everywhere as
The Casino. Staying in the central district of Monte Carlo is pricey and posh,
but there are more modest options as well above and alongside the main downtown.
Easily accessible from Nice. Alsace is a northeastern region of the French countryside
with a discrete culture, cuisine, and tradition, heavily influenced since the
Middle Ages by what is now Germany. Nearby Lorraine offers more of a mix of French
and German influences, but both regions are crowned with numerous reminders of
the conflict between the two cultures and countries - huge medieval fortifications
and modern battle sites. It is beautifully forested and ideal for history buffs.
A favorite city is Strasbourg on the Rhine, with wonderful restaurants.
