In the sixteenth century, two Florentine queens made Paris a little Italian: Catherine de' Medici laid out the Tuileries garden, Marie de' Medici the Luxembourg garden and its fountain. The story goes that Italy reached as far as the French table, the fork, the sorbet, the art of the feast.
A step from the Tuileries, on Rue Cambon, the Hôtel Castille, a five-star house with a Florentine soul, is the quiet heir to that history: an Italian address in the heart of Paris, its private patio, its stone fountain, the Piedmontese table of Ugo Alciati. Fervenza composes your Italian wedding here, for twelve to twenty-four of your closest, sheltered from view.

Your celebration
Day 1 | Gather your closest in the heart of Paris
Before even reaching the patio, you have crossed the Paris of the Medici in a sidecar, from the Tuileries to Place Vendôme, and the aperitivo already gathers those who love the couple, Franciacorta and olive trees, sheltered from Rue Cambon.
- Arrival at the Castille, the five-star Italian house on Rue Cambon, the city left at the door
- A vintage sidecar ride through the Paris of the Medici queens, from the Tuileries to Vendôme
- An Italian aperitivo at dusk in the private patio, Franciacorta and cicchetti
- Welcome dinner at L'Assaggio, the Castille's Italian restaurant

Day 2 | Marry in the Castille patio and celebrate inside the Eiffel Tower
Others marry in a function room. At the Castille, the couple says yes in the patio, a quartet plays Vivaldi, Ugo Alciati's festive lunch follows at midday, then dinner and celebration inside the Eiffel Tower itself.
- Morning wedding ceremony in the Castille's private patio, decorated and flowered by Fervenza
- A string quartet, Italian classical repertoire, to carry the vows

Day 3 | Linger over a long Italian Sunday
What you keep from a Sunday like this one is not the menu, it is the sweetness of the first morning married, the long lunch by Ugo Alciati at L'Assaggio, then the Paris of the Medici for those who linger.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the celebration take place?
It unfolds from the Hôtel Castille on Rue Cambon, in the 1st arrondissement: the ceremony in its private patio and the festive wedding lunch by Ugo Alciati at L'Assaggio, then, in the evening, dinner and celebration inside the Eiffel Tower. The aperitivo and the Sunday lunch are at the Castille too.
How many guests can you welcome?
From twelve to twenty-four. The format is built for a micro-wedding: the patio seats around forty and L'Assaggio up to seventy-five, so twelve to twenty-four guests are received with ease and intimacy.
What makes the table Italian?
The Castille's menus are signed by Ugo Alciati, a Michelin-starred chef from Piedmont, who pairs Italian tradition with French refinement: fresh agnolotti, Alba truffle in season, Italian cheeses, and a Barolo pairing. The aperitivo pieces are made in house, inspired by Italian cuisine.
What is the Medici thread?
Two Florentine queens shaped Italian Paris: Catherine de' Medici commissioned the Tuileries, Marie de' Medici the Luxembourg garden and its fountain, both a short walk from Rue Cambon. We weave this heritage into the days, a private walk through the gardens, a vintage sidecar ride, the Italian masters of the Louvre nearby.
What is the indicative budget?
Three intimate days start around €44,000 for twelve to twenty-four guests, including the Castille's private patio, the festive wedding lunch by Ugo Alciati, the evening inside the Eiffel Tower, the dolce-vita stroll, aperitivo, floral design, a bridal suite and guest rooms. Each project is made to measure.
When is the best season?
From May to October, while the patio lives outdoors. The patio and its fountain are a warm-season space: late spring and early autumn give the softest Paris light and the quietest city.
