The place is simply exceptional, whether it's the recently renovated room which is just sublime, as well as the gardens where we had the wine of honor which are superb. Tristan is very nice, he told us accompanied from the beginning to the end of the organization of the event as well as the wedding weekend, while giving us a certain autonomy and listening to really realize the wedding...We got married at the Abbaye du Val des Choues on May 27, 2023 and it was a real joy.

- CClémence09/12/2022A fantastic placeA fantastic placeWe celebrated our wedding in this fantastic place that meets all the conditions for a magical wedding! This place located in the heart of the forest with a magnificent park for the cocktail, very well renovated rooms for the dinner (which are almost sufficient in themselves for the decoration) and a very practical cottage on site to accommodate some of the guests! The highlight of the show: a pond with clear water for swimming. Thanks to Tristan and his team for helping us make this weekend exceptional!!
