Wedding Venue Paris: A 16th-Century Chateau 1h20 by TGV from Gare de l'Est
Outdoor ceremony in a one-hectare park, dinner for 65 guests, dance hall with fresco, on-site accommodation and next-day brunch. Your Lorraine wedding 1h20 from Paris by TGV.
Chateau de Morey sits 300 km from Paris, a 1h20 direct TGV ride from Gare de l'Est to the Lorraine TGV station, then a 15-minute drive to the estate. This 16th-century estate, built on the ruins of a Templar convent, hosts your wedding in a setting where five centuries of history are written across every facade. The main hall seats up to 65 guests for dinner. The one-hectare park planted with century-old trees hosts your secular ceremony and outdoor cocktail reception, with views over the Natagne valley. The dance hall with its pre-Revolution fresco keeps the celebration going late into the night. Five guest rooms allow your closest family and friends to sleep on site, without catching a train back that evening. The next morning, brunch brings your guests together again in the park or the chateau's lounges. The equipped catering kitchen lets your caterer work on site in optimal conditions. The estate's vaulted cellars provide an additional backdrop for photos or intimate moments.
Wedding Venue near you Paris
Paris offers hundreds of reception venues, from palaces to Seine river barges. Parisian rates are the highest in France, and formats often favour large weddings of 100 guests or more. Chateau de Morey offers an entirely different register: an entire 16th-century estate for private hire in Lorraine for 65 guests maximum, accessible in 1h20 by direct TGV from Gare de l'Est. The Lorraine TGV station is 15 minutes from the chateau. Your Parisian guests leave in the morning and arrive for lunch. Parisian couples seeking a wedding outside the city, with a park, a chateau and on-site accommodation, find here a venue impossible to replicate in the capital. The one-hectare park hosts your secular ceremony. Five guest rooms accommodate your closest family on site. The next-day brunch extends the weekend before the return TGV. Each space has its function: main hall, children's room for 15 to 20 young guests, dance hall with original fresco, vaulted cellars, equipped catering kitchen.
