Happy couple married in September

August 2024

An enchanting place

We chose the Abbaye aux Dames to celebrate our secular ceremony (auditorium), the wine of honor (in the courtyard) and the meal (Françoise de Foix room). The setting is simply magnificent. The rooms are not only beautiful (no need for excessive decoration to highlight them), but functional and well equipped (sockets, chairs, tables). The Abbaye aux Dames team (thank you Karine and Marysia) are attentive and very available to organize visits and answer

Happy couple married in April

A sublime and ideal place for a wedding

We celebrated our wedding at the Abbaye aux Dames in April 2024. We had taken the formula with the Françoise de Foix room and the Auditorium, as well as all the rooms in the hotel. We had the reception with a standing dinner in the auditorium which is a magnificent room with a very high ceiling. The mass took place in the Church of the abbey. We were able to accommodate a large part of the guests with us on the site
