Castle Méridon in Chevreuse, open June–September.
Castle Méridon rises from the Chevreuse Valley landscape, a stone estate commanding views across manicured grounds and surrounding woodland.
The château's classical architecture and elevated position create a dramatic backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
Built in the 18th century, the property spans 12 hectares of gardens, terraces, and parkland.
As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot at venues all over and Château Méridon is truly something special. Tucked in the French countryside just outside Paris, it offers an atmosphere that’s both elegant and intimate. Every corner of the property, from the grand interiors to the gardens, is a dream to photograph. The light, the textures, the charm, it’s all there. We hosted an editorial shoot here, and the team couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. A perfect setting for couples who want a romantic, refined European celebration. I can’t wait to return.
