Practicalities
Where should I stay in Paris?
A handful of favourites — Cheval Blanc on the Seine, the Bvlgari in the Golden Triangle, the Four Seasons George V, Nolinski for something a touch more boutique. See our notes →
May I take photographs?
Of course — capture the night. A professional photographer will be on hand throughout the day and evening, and we'll share the official album with everyone in the weeks that follow.
Where exactly is the venue?
A private estate in the French countryside, kept under seal until arrival — surprise is part of the gift. The Concierge Céline will share precise logistics with you in the days beforehand.
