Our story

A chance meeting, a life together

We met on a late-summer evening in Aix-en-Provence, under string lights at a small market square. Julien had just moved south from Lyon; Clara was visiting friends for the weekend. One conversation about olive oil turned into a long walk through the old town, and then into every evening since.

Three years and many vineyard picnics later, Julien proposed at the very same spot where we first talked. We can't imagine a better place than Provence to begin the next chapter — and we can't wait to celebrate it with the people we love most.

The day

How the evening unfolds

  1. 3:00 PM

    Ceremony

    An outdoor ceremony beneath the olive trees, with welcome drinks served as guests arrive.

  2. 5:00 PM

    Cocktail hour

    Aperitifs and small plates in the garden, with live acoustic music as the sun lowers.

  3. 7:30 PM

    Dinner

    A long Provençal table under the stars — shared plates, local wines, and many toasts.

  4. 10:00 PM

    Dancing

    The terrace turns into a dance floor. We'll keep the music going until late.
