You'll enjoy a delicious lunch for two
in a majestic 19th century castle.
A messenger will then fall from the sky
to give your sweetheart your tender declaration
of love.
How's that for the perfect program for
your amazing celestial surprise ?
|
 |
|
Sometime between 11 and 11:30am, your
hotel's reception or the chauffer himself
will invite you to go out to the prestigious
vehicle awaiting you at the foot of your
building.
Your sweetheart will
gaze at you in astonishment as you settle
down hand in hand on the back seat of
a magnificent 1964 Bentley S3. With a
royal purr of the engine, you'll leap
through the historical streets of the
French capital, before arriving in the
verdant countryside of the Yvelines department.
|
|
You'll travel through the beautiful Vallée
de la Seine and through the town of Giverny
- a town where one can admire Claude Monet's
gardens and rediscover his atmospheric
canvases. You'll wholeheartedly understand
why this region was a limitless source
of inspiration for the founding father
of Impressionism and will fall under the
spell of the valley's subtle play between
color and light. Your car will continue
on its way, only coming to a slow halt
when arriving in front of a majestic building.
A bellhop will welcome you to this country
manor bursting with history and romance
!
The castle was built
at the end of the 19th century by the
Belgian King Leopold II as a place to
harbor his secret romance with Blanche
de Vaughan. Romance ahoy... In this extremely
emotionally symbolic environment, you'll
sit down at your reserved table inside
or on the terrace, depending on the season.
You'll be spellbound as you take in the
exceptional panoramic view of the meanders
of the Seine River and La boucle de Moisson
ponds.

While perched in a romantic green setting
between the heavens and the earth you
and your sweet heart will savor the light,
contemporary and innovative cuisine of
Chef Anthony Dalençon, whose flavorsome
cooking is the result of pleasing the
eye just as much as the taste buds.
You sample seven exceptional
dishes during the course of your fresh
and delightful lunch: mini polenta patties
with bocconcini and tomato confit, three
fish tartare, rolled Peking duck crêpe,
smoked salmon blini, Claude Joseph's selection,
crunchy chocolate "déclinaison", and French
toast brioche with garden apples.

A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Carteau
2002 and a Saint-Aubin Domaine Langoureau
2001 will perfect accompany your journey
through the land of flavors and excellence.
Around 2:30pm, you'll
leave the dinning room, hand in hand,
in order to go down into the estate's
poetic gardens and stroll over to the
dome that King Leopold II erected in his
sweetheart's name. As you passionately
relish in your shared emotions, you'll
be able to share a romantic embrace in
this ever so romantic place...
Sometime between 2:40
and 3pm, you'll make sure to be on the
lookout for a mysterious messenger who
might spurge out from a heavenly firmament
at any moment... The parachutist will
suddenly appear in the sky.
|
 |
|
As he gets closer and closer to you, you'll
be able to make out his truly magnificent
Louis XVI costume.
You'll wave at the parachutist
with both hands so that he can distinguish
you. He'll then progressively head in
your direction...
Fifty yards. Forty yards.
Thirty yards. Now twenty yards... Ten
yards... The gentleman will land, walk
over your partner and get down on one
knee to hand him/her a parchment.
Your dazzled and amazed
sweetheart's jaw will drop as he/she slowly
unfolds the message - your incredible
declaration of love ! You'll be conquered
by emotional hugs and kisses while tingled
with astonishment and amazement.
|
|
 |
|
With your arms emotionally locked around
each other, you'll share these unique
moments together,
as you stroll one last time across the
park's beautiful paths. You'll walk over
to your
Bentley and gently return to Paris completely
in love.
