marriage celebration chateau, romantic wedding location : Château des Condé

	The Pavilion with its Grand Bassin water feature Within the walls of Chateau des Condé in Vallery, France, nestles an enchanting corner of the Orient. An exotic riad provides the perfect backdrop for more intimate celebrations: the eve of the wedding, a birthday, a henna ceremony, a bar mitzvah or simply brunch. Lanterns project chiselled arabesque shadows onto walls decorated with oriental paintings. The playful music of the fountain and the softness of heavy rugs plunge you into the dreamy nonchalance of a Thousand and One Nights. A tajine of candied lemon, pastillas, couscous and other Moroccan specialities can all be on the menu. Later on, a belly dancer will capture you in the spell of her skilful undulations. Then breathe in heady fragrances during a stroll around the rose gardens. Break away from the crowd to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere around the pond with only muffled echoes of the party filtering through the moucharabiehs.
