The Venue
We are delighted to extend this invitation to join us for a 3-day wedding celebration at Château de la Valouze, in Bordeaux, France.

We have reserved accommodations at this beautiful venue exclusively for our guests for the entire weekend. The bride and groom are excited to provide all meals throughout the weekend, sourced locally from the region.
We are looking forward to sharing this unforgettable experience with you!

About the Château
The Château de la Valouze was the long-time residence of Paul Durand-Ruel, largely considered the most influential art dealer of the 19th Century.
Known as a key supporter of the Impressionist movement, Durand-Ruel played a crucial role in launching the careers of artists like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley, all behemoths in the ever-so-exclusive pantheon of Impressionist luminaries. His work with such artists helped shape the international art market as we know it today.
This, his summer residence, away from the bustle of Paris, sits on 34 hectares of sprawling greenery, including a lake and a 400 year old oak, believed to be one of the oldest trees in France.
When we learned about the history of this venue, and envisioned the possibility of spending three days here with you, in one of the greatest wine-regions in the world, visited by the ghosts of the impressionist masters, and surrounded by unending nature, it felt like the perfect place to have our wedding.
