You can’t do a marriage proposal twice. The moment, the light, the setting: everything will count in the story you’ll tell afterwards — often for the rest of your life. The good news is: you don’t need to travel to the other side of the world to find the perfect setting. Just 45 minutes from Paris, the estate offers five possible backdrops, to choose from depending on your story.
1. The pond at sunset
The estate’s 12-hectare grounds are home to a number of ponds where the evening light works its magic. A stroll for two along the water’s edge, the tranquillity of the Vexin, getting down on one knee just as the sky bursts into colour: a classic scene, because it’s simply unbeatable.
2. The candlelit dinner
For a discreet enquiry: a suite with private jacuzzi prepared before your arrival — rose petals, chilled champagne, soft lighting. You walk in, the scene is set; all that’s missing is the proposal. Our staff will prepare the room with the utmost discretion: just let us know everything when book.
3. The Chef’s Dinner
Ask the question between the main course and dessert, in the dining room La Table du Clos Or after a dinner prepared by chef Cyril Ramon: French elegance at its finest. We can help you plan the moment — a ring presented with dessert, champagne on cue, or simply a quiet corner table where peace and quiet are guaranteed.
4. A morning at the spa
Less expected: a request in the middle of a morning duet at the spa — sauna, steam room, couples’ massage, and the question asked whilst wrapped in a soft bathrobe, without any pretence. For couples who hate pretence and love genuine moments.
5. The whole weekend, to make it last
Perhaps the best option is simply not to choose: a romantic weekend as a whole, with the proposal made somewhere between the pond, the suite and the table — at the moment that feels right. It’s also the approach that leaves the most room for the unexpected, and therefore for things to happen naturally.
We’ll help you get ready for the big moment
Planning a marriage proposal is a joint effort — you and us. Call us on 03 44 22 36 90 or book your stay by dropping us a line: flowers, champagne, timing, the right person in the right place at the right time. The secret will be kept safe.
And if the answer is yes — and it will be —, the gift set makes a lovely engagement present to keep the story going.
