The river Seine has to be one of the most beautiful and romantic settings in Paris. It starts its journey in Dijon near the Swiss Alps, flowing for 486 miles across France, and then gracefully slides under Paris’ 37 historic bridges, passing along the way famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, before continuing its journey out to the English Channel. Over the centuries this small park has been a haven for Kings and Queens, inspired writers like Victor Hugo and Hemingway, painters like Monet and Pissarro.


 

Luxembourg Gardens

There are many special spots to hold your ceremony in the Luxembourg Gardens; overlooking the Senate, or close to the Medici Fountain are just a couple of suggestions. It’s not only a romantic and inspirational location, but has also been listed as one of the “60 greatest places in the world.” The gardens were also one of the favourite retreats of American journalist and author Ernest Hemingway, and a place where he would meet many of his literary contemporaries, such as Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound.


 

Sacre-Coeur

Sitting at the foot of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, this beautiful garden was started in 1880 by Jean Charles Adolphe Alphand and completed by architect Camille Formigé in 1899. The name of the Square was changed to Square Louis Michel, in honour of Louise Michel (1830-1905) was a grade school teacher, fighter for social rights and a heroine of the Commune of Paris. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris is set at the highest point in the city and its style is Romano-Byzantine. Construction was started in 1875 and took 39 years to complete.

The Temple of Sybil sits in the Parc des Buttes Chamount in Paris' 19th district. The Park was established in 1867 by Napoleon III. The Temple is approached across a 63m suspension bridge. It's a busy tourist attraction in the summer months, so you may have to share your special day with a few new friends.

Our wedding ceremonies are non-religious in nature and the Chapelle Expiatoire with it's spectacular interior is a deconsecrated French national monument that can be privatized for weddings. The additional fee to use this a unique venue ranges from 650-990 Euros, subject to day and time. The chapel is an historic setting which combines history, art and architecture in an oasis of quiet from the activity of the surrounding city of Paris and it serves as the only monument to the French Revolution that was religious in nature. The neoclassical chapel in the 8th arrondissement of Paris was commissioned by Louis XVIII (18th) in 1815 by one of Napoleon’s favourite architects Pierre Fontaine completed during the reign of Charles X (10th) in 1826. The chapel was dedicated to King Louis XVI (16th) and his queen, Marie Antoinette (later re-buried in the Basilica of St Denis).
