A Franco-Polish wedding in the heart of Ardèche.

Oliwia and Théo chose the Château de Chavagnac, in the village of Lemps, to celebrate their wedding surrounded by family and friends who had travelled from France and Poland. Carefully restored by its owners, Frank and Silvère, this beautiful château has gradually become both a family home and a place of creation, where a very personal aesthetic has taken shape – one rooted in nature, simplicity and quiet elegance. The château is also only about three hours from Geneva, where Oliwia and Théo live, which made the choice of location an obvious one.

The day began with a ceremony at the village church before the guests returned to the château for the reception. With its exceptional gardens and the surrounding Ardèche landscape, the setting feels both intimate and majestic – a perfect backdrop for a summer celebration.

The owners have even developed their own patented iris variety, a detail that particularly touched me since my daughter shares the same name. It felt like a gentle coincidence in a place where every element seems to have been imagined with great care.

As for Oliwia and Théo, we’ll let the images speak for themselves.
