ometime
between 7:30pm and 8pm, after a phone call from your
chauffeur, you will be picked up from your hotel/accommo-dation
by a sumptuous 1959 Jaguar Mark IX.
You will go
to the vehicle and will cross Paris to join the department
of Essonne and a charming destination in the heart
of the Val de Juine. Following the path of a wooded
park, you will discover one of the most romantic French
castles, a Louis XIII style castle completely privatized
for you.
Leaving the car, you will be welcomed by the castle owner
and will be accompanied to a felted lounge where you will
be served some appetizers with champagne. Then, you will
join your table in the dining room and will be enchanted
by the prestigious setting: mouldings ceilings, mosaic parquet
floors, authentic French chimney, Louis XVI furniture, silver
chandeliers, floral decoration and a magnificent view of
the park.
In an elegant and
softened atmosphere, a butler will make his entrance to
propose you a raspberry flavored crottin de Chavignol goats
cheese with two apples and duck aiguillettes, a pillow of
scallops in champagne sauce with a vegetable pasty, some
delicacies from the French department of Gers, or half a
lobster with a vegetable flan. A smooth sorbet (lemon/vodka,
apple/calvados or champagne/mango) will then be served to
sweeten your appetite. Next, you will be able to enjoy a
tournedos Rossini with truffles, a veal medallion with girolle
mushrooms, a crunchy pigeon dressed in poppy seeds, or a
honey duck filet with small pears. A green salad with walnuts
and Roquefort will follow, along with a selection of cheeses
including Meaux brie, goat's cheese and Reblochon. You will
finally savor a plate of desserts, including a crème brûlée
with floating islands, a chocolate sauce patisserie, a mini
Danish pastry, and a blackcurrant sorbet. As a perfect accompaniment,
you will enjoy a Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois 2003 and a
Bourgogne Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourneaux 2005.
At the end of the
dinner, you will leave the castle to go for a walk, hand
in hand, in the flowery paths of the castle land. You will
then discover a beck, a chapel, a mill, a lake, a tiny bridge
and an orangery, when suddenly, an immense red heart will
be ablaze under your eyes! At the same moment, multicolored
smokes Bengal will illuminate the castle, whereas fountains
and volcano fireworks will immerse the gardens in a fairy
of colors... A light show that will take your breath away!
A couple of minutes later, the butler will join you to offer
a bouquet of roses and a glass of champagne to your beloved...
