A few notes

Answer

We recommend arriving one to two days before the wedding to settle in and adjust to the time difference. We’ll be at the Château starting May 19, 2027, and are planning at least one welcome gathering. If your schedule allows, spending a couple of days in Paris beforehand is a great way to break up travel and ease into the trip.
