Chateau de Courtomer

In the Dreux region southwest of Paris, this manor house dates to the seventeenth century with eighteenth-century updates. Low stone walls, slate roofing, and a tree-lined drive frame a noble farmhouse aesthetic; interior beaming and period flooring are preserved. The grounds include formal gardens and forest; the venue accommodates 100 to 200 guests with ceremonies typically staged on the eastern lawn where morning light catches the stone facade and awakens the historical narrative embedded in its proportions.
