Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
Paris has several airports; however, Charles de Gaulle is the best for international guests and is closest to the venue as well as all hotel and rental suggestions. Charles de Gaulle is around 20-30 mins by car to the suggested areas below (Montmorency, Luzarches, and Chantilly). For public transportation, the airport also offers an array of trains, buses, and metro lines that can take you to your final destination. For best deals, we recommend that international guests book their flights with at least 3-4 months of anticipation and to fly into the region on the dates of November 20th and November 21st, as they tend to be cheaper and will give guest a chance to recover from jet lag. The link below is a good website for browsing flights, but KAYAK and Skyscanner are also good options.

Montmorency
Montmorency and Enghien-les-Bains are charming parts of the northern Paris suburbs. Guests will have a chance to enjoy the surrounding nature of the area while having the ease of reaching Paris by train through various stations. The church for the ceremony will be located in this area, and the main venue is reachable by car within 20-25 mins.
House Or Rental
Luzarches
Luzarches is a quiet picturesque village 6-10 minutes away from the chateau and 20 minutes away from the church. There is also a train line that will take you straight into Paris within an hour. This is a great option for guests who want to experience a more quiet visit with the ease of reaching both Paris and the surrounding regions.
House Or Rental
Chantilly
Chantilly is a beautiful area within the Parisian basin. This is a great option for those wishing to rent a car during their visit to France. Located 20-25 mins away from the venue and 40 mins from the church, Chantilly offers a great array of sights for those wishing to discover something new (such as the Château de Chantilly and Chantilly Forest).
House Or Rental
Paris
For those who want to enjoy Paris during their visit, we have chose some of the apartments that offer the best bang for their buck. With the metro line, guests will be able to access the church easily through line H into Montmorency. We do not recommend renting a car for those staying within the city, as parking and space will prove difficult. Guest staying in Paris will benefit more from using taxis and Ubers to get from and to the venue, but should be mindful of securing these options ahead of time.

Train
Gare du Nord - LINE H
For guests coming in from Paris, Line H at Gare du Nord is the best choice to get to Montmorency for the ceremony. Several stops will get you close to the town, but we recommend Enghien-les-Bains as the 1515 bus will take you the rest of the way to the church within 5-10 mins (make sure to get off at stop Saint-Valery). For those who want to walk the rest of the way, keep in mind Montmorency is built on a hill and it could take close to 30-35 mins!
Rental Car
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
For those who want to rent a car during their visit, we recommend doing so at the airport as it will be easier and more straightforward to reach your final destination. Car rental is a great option for those wishing to stay in the Montmorency, Luzarches, and Chantilly region, however for those who wish to stay within Paris we find that it is best to rely on public transportation. Keep in mind that manual driving is more common in France, so make sure to pay close attention when choosing a model!
