Travel Note
One of the very few downsides of the beautiful French countryside is that Uber and buses are unfortunately not available in the area. We encourage guests to carpool with others at their hotel, book a taxi ahead of time, or simply leave their car at the Château and take one of the taxis home. Little update on taxis 🚕 We’ve recently learned that having a fleet of taxis available at the Château to take guests home throughout the wedding weekend will be more limited than we originally expected. To help everything run smoothly, we’d strongly recommend arranging your return transportation in advance where possible. If you’re booking a taxi to bring you to the château, please let them know at the time of booking if you’ll also need a return journey later that evening and ideally arrange for them to either be on call or scheduled for pickup.
