Seasonal, Foam-Free Floral Design Grown in the Loire Valley

Three-Day Luxury Birthday at Château du Grand-Lucé

Hosting a private event at Château du Grand-Lucé is unlike any other experience in France. Set in the heart of the Loire Valley, this 18th-century neoclassical estate offers the ideal setting for multi-day celebrations, private gatherings and destination events where design, atmosphere and history come together naturally.

This three-day summer weekend showcases what a fully curated experience at a French château can become, each day with its own color story, mood and floral direction.

The celebration began with an outdoor picnic on the manicured grounds, followed by an al fresco dinner designed entirely in soft white tones. Seasonal, locally grown flowers arranged without foam brought an authentic, sustainable touch that mirrored the landscape and elevated the feeling of a private garden event.

Day two moved into the château’s ornate salons, where warm pink florals complemented the mirrored walls, chandeliers and classical architecture. This setting is one of the estate’s most iconic spaces for private dinners, cocktail soirées and intimate indoor events.

The final evening embraced the bold richness of late-summer reds. The garden dinner transitioned into a night of music, dancing and a fireworks display over the estate, a signature finale for luxury celebrations at Château du Grand-Lucé.

This event was featured in the November issue of Vanity Fair and beautifully planned by Phyllis Kent Events, demonstrating the château’s capacity to host high-end, multi-day private events with exceptional detail.

For hosts planning a private celebration in France – from milestone events to destination weekends, Château du Grand-Lucé offers a rare combination of elegance, privacy and design potential. And with sustainable, foam-free floral design grown in the Loire Valley, every arrangement stays connected to the place itself.
