Jean, the son of the count of Paris, Enrique d'Orleans and the duchess of Montpensier, will celebrate his union with Philomena at 11am to the sounds of a choir performing a selection of German, Austrian and Spanish music from the 17th century through to the present day.

The happy couple will then toast the occassion with their guests in the gardens of the castle chateau d'Hugues Capet.

The multi lingual pair will then head to a reception at the historical chateau de Chantilly in the town - owned by the groom's family until 1897 and now looked after by the Institut de France.
