The area
Bouville is a village in the Gâtinais, between Étampes and Milly-la-Forêt, where the fields meet the woods. The château has been a listed historic monument since 1948. For guests who come early: the Thursday market under the Halle in Milly-la-Forêt, the Cyclop sculpture in the woods, or the rocks of the Fontainebleau forest, 45 minutes away.

Who is Fervenza?

How much does a wedding at Château de Farcheville cost?
From €53,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests at the Orangerie in low season: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. With the whole estate and its 22 bedrooms, or in high season, the price follows the château's rates. The exact price for your date, in writing within a week.
Can the price change?
Once you agree, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, or something you add along the way.
What if one of our suppliers can't make it?
We replace them. They're our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.
Can we insure our wedding?
Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd's. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can't be there, as set out in the policy terms.
What if we booked the château directly?
You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you its spaces, with furniture, lighting, security, cleaning and its professional kitchen. You then bring together the chef or caterer, the flowers and decor, the music, the photographer and the running of the day. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.
How many guests can we invite?
Up to 450 seated under the Orangerie's glass roof, with the party under the same roof. For something more intimate, the Salon des Rois, the château's great hall, seats 80.
Which dates are still free?
Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. Its softest rates come with the low season.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes: at the Nymphée, the open-air ceremony space by the water. The chapel consecrated in 1304 is also possible, on request. You write the ceremony that feels like you, we set the scene.
Can we have our civil wedding in Bouville?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Bouville town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at the château.
Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?
Yes: Orly airport is 50 minutes away, Paris an hour and Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle 1 h 30. By train, the RER C to Étampes, then 15 minutes by taxi. To sleep nearby, we give you the best addresses around the château, ready to share with your loved ones.
Coming from abroad: how does it work?
Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
Where do our guests sleep?
At the château first: 22 bedrooms, 15 of them suites, and the Pigeonnier within the walls. A few minutes away, the Presbytère and its 5 bedrooms, and the gîte du Gâtinais, a stone house with 24 beds, 5 minutes from the party.
Where do we get ready?
In one of the château's suites, such as the Suite du Roi, the Suite de la Reine or the Grande Suite. One of you on each side, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.
Where does the party go on?
Under the Orangerie's glass roof, air-conditioned, with its own sound and lighting, then in the vaulted cellars and their bar. The wedding directories give 4 am as the music cut-off: we confirm the château's exact time for your date, in writing.
What if it rains?
Rain plan: the ceremony moves to the Salon des Rois, the château's great hall under its frescoed fireplace, and dinner and dancing stay under the Orangerie's glass roof.
Can we have fireworks?
Yes, on request: fireworks over the château at the end of dinner. And for your arrival, a horse-drawn carriage, or a helicopter on the estate's own helipad. We add it to your price.
