Other guests at their big day will include Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones and Eva's Desperate Housewives co-stars - including Marcia Cross, who will make the trip to France despite giving birth to twins in February.

The castle will close its grounds to the public for the first time ever.

After the ceremony there will be a fountain show within the French style gardens.
