We met in 2019 in the queue for a food truck in Lisbon that had, it turned out, run out of everything but lemonade. Theo offered to share his; Amara said yes, and has been saying it since.
Six years, two cities and one very patient cat later, we would love you to join us for a weekend in the Loire: a ceremony in the garden, dinner in the orangery, dancing until the small hours and a slow brunch on Sunday.
Cold drinks in the shade while everyone arrives.
Thirty minutes, outdoors if the weather allows, in the orangery if not.
A long table, a seasonal menu by the château’s kitchen, speeches kept short.
A band until midnight, then a playlist we have been building for a year.
Come when you wake up. We stay until the coffee runs out.
Château de Lisle is 25 minutes from Tours station (TGV from Paris in one hour). A shuttle leaves Tours at 13:00 and returns at midnight and 01:00; tell us in your RSVP if you want a seat.
The château sleeps 24 and those rooms are taken by family. We have held rooms at Hôtel du Parc in Lisle (10 minutes away) until 31 July; mention our names when you book.
Your being there is the gift. If you would like to give something, we are saving for a honeymoon in Kyoto and a contribution to that would make us very happy.
FAQ
Garden formal: suits and summer dresses, and shoes you can stand on grass in. September evenings in the Loire are cool, so bring a layer.
We love your children and we are keeping the day for grown-ups, with one exception for babies under one. Hôtel du Parc can recommend sitters.
If your invitation names a guest, yes. If it does not, we are sorry: the orangery has exactly as many chairs as we have friends.
Yes, free, in the field by the gate. The shuttle from Tours is easier if you plan to dance.
