Weddings at the Palace of Versailles are every couple's ultimate fantasy. The Chateau de Versailles, which is around 16 kilometres southwest of Paris, was constructed during the rule of Louis XIV and his progeny. Similar to that, it stopped serving as the official royal home following the French Revolution in 1789.

The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is in a lovely destination wedding venue in Paris about 35 minutes drive from the Nice airport.

 

The Estate Ephrussi de Rothschild is a classic French coastal villa that is regarded as one of the top wedding locations on the French Riviera. Aaron Messiah, a French architect, and Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild worked together to create this rose-coloured mansion. 

 

Additionally, work on this extravagant structure began in the early nineteenth century. It took over seven years to finish, which was a considerable amount of time for the period.

 

The spectacular views and outside seating arrangements can host up to 300 guests. A magnificent recreation of the Temple of Love can be found in the French Gardens.

 

The fountains can also be lit up while playing a playlist of your choosing - dance the night away with all of your favourite tunes! The cherry on top is that a stunning fireworks display can be set from Villefranche Sur Mer.
