10:00AM - 12:30PM –TRIP INTO SENS FOR GUESTS AT THE CHATEAU– Sens is a picturesque village close to the chateau. It's about 30 minutes away, so this trip will give you 2 hours to explore the town, grab a pastry, and see some of the beautiful architecture (see list of recommended sights on the "Nearby Recs" tab). You'll make it back to the Chateau in time for lunch and will have plenty of time to relax and get ready before the big event! 3:30PM –Archotel Sens to Chateau de Vallery Shuttle– 4:00PM - –WEDDING, The Sycamore Tree– Dress Code: Formal, but no tux required!

Note: Same drop-off location in Paris as shuttle pick-up: 39 Boulevard de Vaugirard, Paris, 75015 France If you plan on taking the train from Sens on Sunday, we do not recommend coming to brunch at the Chateau, as there will not be a shuttle from the Chateau in Vallery back to Sens. Similarly, if you plan on taking this shuttle back to Paris, you must come to brunch at the Chateau.
