- OOcéane & Adrien09/07/2026Serrières ParadiseSerrières ParadiseChâteau de Fortis made our wedding even more unforgettable. This venue is a true hidden gem in the village of Serrières-en-Chautagne. It speaks for itself. Just add a few flowers and you will never want to leave its beautiful shaded gardens. Despite the heatwave, we stayed comfortable thanks to the shade of the magnificent mature trees. And the interior is every bit as impressive as the grounds. The orangery, the reception hall, and the guest rooms are all absolutely stunning.Château de Fortis made our wedding even more unforgettable.
