An island paradise glowing with candlelight, hidden deep in a forest.
An amazing mirage or true heavenly reality ?

Sometime between 7:45 and 8:15pm, your hotel's reception or the chauffer himself will invite you to go out to the vehicle parked at the foot of your building. Your partner will be delightedly surprised when you discover a sublime 1977 Rolls Royce Shadow II. Your chauffeur will then graciously invite you to climb aboard.

You'll settle down like a king and queen on the luxurious back seat before pulling out from the curb and starting off on your impassioned ride through the amazingly lit up streets of romantic Paris.

When you reach the city's outskirts, you'll enter a vast forest cloaked in mystery. Your car will slow down and come to a halt beside a walking path. You'll leave your vehicle and while under the secret holding shadows of the century old trees, you'll fall under the charm of the area's divinely beautiful show, its exquisite and sweet extravaganza...

In front of you will lie a magnificent wooden chalet peacefully asleep on an island bed of greenery. All around the island the pastel colored water will glitter in the moonlight and reflect the glow of the wooden surroundings...

You'll walk down several steps which will be lined with candles before reaching the edge of the lake. A motorboat accompanied by her captain will be awaiting you. Hand in hand, you'll cozily sit down on one of the benches before setting off on a poetic crossing of the lake. You'll be immediately transported to another world.

Little by little you'll be cut off from the rest of the universe and only the birds will dare to caress the realm of your thoughts with their melodious songs. Several ducks and their ducklings may even glide across the water leaving a gentle wake...

You'll soon near the stunning Bernese chalet which was brought from Switzerland in 1880 by Napoleon III and rebuilt in this Parisian forest as a gift for his beloved Empress Eugenie who had fallen under its charm during one of her travels.

This paradise - the fruit of a truly great romance, will now be yours. You'll excitedly approach it under the soft glow of the candles which line the edge of the lake... Welcome to the land of sweet tenderness !

You'll be welcomed by a hostess who'll show you to the restaurant. In a warm and cozy atmosphere, you'll discover your truly elegant table. You'll be spellbound in the sweet mellow light, by the room's warmly glimmering decorations which are en par with the lavish ornaments in the Château de Versailles.

The panoramic view of the lake and the forest will provide you with a festival of beautifully soft colors...

You'll be offered a sumptuous champagne and rose petal-based love potion to begin your poetic dinner by candlelight. Your taste buds will then be tickled by the fresh and flavorsome cuisine which will be created using seasonal aromas. For starters you'll choose from duck foie gras terrine accompanied by sangria jelly, smoked duck's breast with melon, and a plate of smoked salmon with home-made blini.

You'll then sample the chalet's traditional Colombo shrimps with basmati rice, roast bass filet with artichokes and tomato confit, or even a beef filet in a béarnaise sauce with potato puffs. As a perfect accompaniment to these delightful aromas, you'll enjoy a Pouilly Fumé 2005 of the Masson-Bondelet domain (white wine) and a Pessac-Léognan 2001 of the Château de Rochemorin (red wine). Finally you'll be treated to a chilled soup of red berries, a moist caramel fondant, or an assortment of mango, raspberry and vanilla ice-creams and sorbets.

As the perfect end to your dinner, you'll leave your seats hand in hand and will go outside to take in the lovely fresh forest air. You'll take the path on your left and stroll with your arms around each other, along the pearly edges of the dreamy island. From the other side of the lake, behind the grand tops of the sleeping forest, you'll see the Eiffel Tower whose elegant robe will appear to have left the branches of a several century old tree, just for you. During your romantic stroll, you'll no doubt come across some of the island's rabbits and peacocks who'll briefly follow alongside you.

The romantic grandeur of your evening stroll will, little by little, etch a permanent place in your mind and your heart.

As you near the end of your stroll you'll notice a statue that will instantly capture your attention on the edge of the island in the filtered moonlight...
...a statue of two lovers embracing.

You'll finish off your walk and head over to the boat for one last trip across the lake.
Your Rolls Royce will be there with your cheerful chauffeur who'll together be waiting to take you
on your on tender ride back home. This will be an evening to remember, forever.
