Unique Paris Proposal
IN A KNIGHT'S TALE

 

Between 11:00 and 11:30 AM, your chauffeur will call to inform you of the arrival of a stunning white 1955 Citroën Traction right at your doorstep.

 

You’ll step into the vehicle and travel across the city, heading towards the Seine-et-Marne region, to a charming, traditional equestrian estate located just a short distance from Fontainebleau. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a footman dressed in 18th-century attire, who will escort you to an elegant hunting carriage.

 

With the driver, also in period costume, urging the horses forward, the carriage will begin its journey down a long, cobbled avenue. The sound of horseshoes echoing through the secluded Graville Forest, which has been fully privatised just for you, will feel like stepping back in time. You’ll follow the same path once taken by King Henri IV as he visited the estate with his romantic companions on the way to the château.

 

As you continue, an unusual figure will appear along the roadside—a peasant from the 18th century, eagerly waving his arms. He’ll approach the carriage with excitement, announcing the arrival of a mysterious messenger. But suddenly, from the shadows, a black-clad brigand will emerge from the trees! The peasant, now terrified, will flee as the highwayman charges after him on horseback, catching him easily and knocking him down, threatening terrible consequences for revealing the news.

 

As the peasant cries for help, his desperate gestures will attract the attention of a knight—the very messenger who was destined to meet you at Château de Graville. Armed with a rapier and wearing a leather scabbard, the knight will gallop to the rescue, drawing his sword to challenge the brigand. A fierce duel will follow, with swift movements and clashing steel. Eventually, both men will fall to the ground in a frantic struggle. Although the knight will bravely continue to fight, the highwayman will seem to gain the upper hand and overpower him.

 

Just when all seems lost, the peasant will return, this time armed with a simple wooden stick. In an unexpected twist, he will join the fray, and through sheer determination, manage to defeat the villainous brigand. Humiliated and wounded, the scoundrel will flee into the woods, cursing and stumbling as the victorious peasant triumphantly laughs. With the peasant’s help, the knight will stand, dust himself off, and approach your beloved to present what he had been entrusted with—the scroll containing your unique marriage proposal! She’ll be left utterly speechless.

 

Moments later, the knight will mount his horse once more and gallop off into the distance, while the peasant quietly disappears into the trees.

 

You’ll conclude your historical adventure in the tranquil grounds of Château de Graville, where a delightful picnic table will have been set up for you both. Inside a wicker basket, you’ll find homemade pâté, local sausage, Poilâne bread, butter, pickles, fine cheeses, fresh fruit, macarons, and of course, champagne. The perfect way to celebrate your unforgettable moment!
