Travel Options

Flight Direct to Nice (NCE)

Depending on the state (or country) you are traveling from, costs may vary, however flight costs should range between $850 - $1300. Keep in mind, this is peak season for the French Riviera which is reflected in the price of the flights. The following airports have direct flights to Nice in the summer:

-Atlanta (ATL)
-New York (JFK)
-New Jersey (EWR)
-Philadelphia (PHL)
-Washington DC (IAD)

For those traveling from any area not included in this list, one stop options are available to you (we checked)!

Flight to Paris (CDG) with Train to Nice

Depending on your travel plans, you may choose to fly directly into Paris. From there, you can either take the train to Nice (between 5 and 6 hours) or you may choose to take a short flight from Orly (ORY) to Nice (NCE) which would take just under 1.5 hours. Currently, flights directly to Nice appear to be either less expensive or marginally more expensive than flying to Paris and the more efficient option - the cost to take a train or flight from Paris will end up being the most expensive route. However, we recognize many of you may want to visit Paris as well and you have options to choose from for your ultimate arrival in Nice!

We advise you to book travel early as our wedding is during peak season and flight prices are not likely to decrease -between 2 to 6 months prior to the wedding is ideal timing, but we would suggest looking frequently. Some of you may be travel experts and can get creative - if you are one of these people and find a route that is cost effective, please share with other guests traveling from your same area! Keep in mind, sometimes flying from a smaller airport near you with a connection is cheaper, so don't rule this out before you do your research! Another way to find cost savings is to look at the Flexible Date Calendar for your respective airlines to see if adjusting your trip up or back by a few days makes a difference, if your schedules allow.

Accommodations

We have decided not to book a room block at any particular hotel as we recognize many of you have other travel plans before and after our wedding. We have provided a link that shows the closest hotels and resorts to our venue which is in Villefranche-sur-Mer, as well as Airbnb options, which will likely be the more cost-effective option. Please note, you may stay in surrounding areas such as Nice, Antibe, or Cannes. We do not suggest staying any further west than Cannes, as this is about a 45 minute drive to Domaine du Mont Leuze.

OUR STORY

Neither Maggie nor Guillaume was meant to be in Paris for New Year’s Eve of 2024, and neither had plans to end up at that particular party. Yet, as if guided by chance, they both found themselves drawn toward the music — two strangers bumping into each other, and in that unexpected moment, something quietly extraordinary began. Maggie only had two nights in Paris before heading on to Vienna, but fate gave them one more chance: a seven-hour layover on her way home. Just enough time for a date in Chantilly, where laughter and conversation made it clear this was not just a passing encounter. In March, Maggie visited Guillaume in Lisbon. Ten days together turned into forty when Guillaume invited her back for her birthday. That summer became a season of discovery — long walks, shared meals, spontaneous trips, and the joy of simply being together. When Maggie’s visa expired after the Paris Olympics, they already knew: they had found something lasting. Guillaume came back with her to the U.S., unwilling to let distance undo what had grown between them. In October, they bought their first apartment together, even as they continued to live between Europe and America. But by January, they knew they couldn’t stay apart any longer — and Guillaume moved to the U.S. to be with Maggie. On March 17th, Guillaume asked the question that would mark the beginning of forever. With hearts full of love and happiness, they continue to write their story together — one that began by chance, but now feels like destiny.


NOTRE HISTOIRE

Ni Maggie ni Guillaume n’étaient censés se trouver à Paris pour le réveillon du Nouvel An 2024, et aucun d’eux n’avait prévu de se retrouver à cette fête en particulier. Pourtant, comme guidés par le hasard, ils se sont laissés porter par la musique — deux inconnus se heurtant l’un à l’autre, et dans cet instant inattendu, quelque chose d'extraordinaire a commencé. Maggie n’avait que deux nuits à Paris avant de repartir pour Vienne, mais le destin leur offrit une seconde chance : une escale de sept heures sur le chemin du retour. Juste assez de temps pour un rendez-vous à Chantilly, où rires et conversations leur firent comprendre que cette rencontre ne serait pas éphémère. En mars, Maggie rendit visite à Guillaume à Lisbonne. Dix jours passés ensemble se transformèrent en quarante, lorsque Guillaume l’invita à revenir pour fêter son anniversaire. Cet été-là devint une saison de découvertes — longues promenades, repas partagés, escapades spontanées et la joie simple d’être ensemble. Lorsque le visa de Maggie expira après les Jeux Olympiques de Paris, ils savaient déjà : ils avaient trouvé quelque chose qui durerait. Guillaume voyagea alors aux États-Unis avec Maggie, refusant de laisser la distance défaire ce qui avait grandi entre eux. En octobre, ils achetèrent ensemble leur premier appartement, tout en continuant à partager leur temps entre l’Europe et l’Amérique. Mais dès janvier, ils comprirent qu’ils ne pouvaient plus vivre éloignés — Guillaume s’installa alors aux États-Unis auprès de Maggie. Le 17 mars, Guillaume posa la question qui marqua le début d’un « pour toujours ». Le cœur empli d’amour et de bonheur, ils continuent d’écrire leur histoire — une histoire née du hasard, mais qui ressemble désormais à une évidence.

Your presence at our wedding means more to us than anything - celebrating this special moment surrounded by those we love is the greatest gift we could ever receive.

As we prepare to begin our next chapter together - a honeymoon to celebrate our marriage and an exciting move to Portugal - we have chosen not to create a traditional gift registry. Instead, for those who wish to give, we have created a fund to help support these exciting new beginnings.

Please know that your love, encouragement, and presence in our lives are truly what we treasure most of all.

With all our love,

Maggie and Guillaume
