If not, please initiate the passport renewal process at the earliest (in France, the passport renewal process may take up to 3 months).

Travel to Goa, India
✈️ Land in Goa
The most convenient way to travel to Goa is by air, as there are two airports available: Dabolim Airport (GOI) and Manohar Airport (GOA).
If you're traveling from France, Dabolim Airport is the most probable landing destination.
For those planning to explore other cities before the wedding or arriving from other countries, flying into Goa through either of the two airports is also an option.
On October 25th, the first day of the event, guests staying at the resort will have access to group airport shuttles.
As the venue is on an island, a ferry ride is part of the journey to access the resort across the river.
You should take the ferry from Old Goa : Google Map location where to take the ferry
Accommodation
The entire two-day event will be hosted at Mercure Devaaya, a lovely resort on Divar Island, Goa.
To ensure everyone can stay together conveniently, we're arranging rooms for all attendees.
If you choose to stay at the resort, here are the benefits:
- Inclusive breakfast and lunch.
- Group airport shuttle service.
- Complimentary access to the swimming pool (appropriate attire required).
- A shuttle bus will be available for resort guests, providing convenient transportation to and from the church ceremony.
However, please feel free to let us know if you prefer to make your own accommodation arrangements.
Our Story
In 2018, Alexis and Karen's love story kicked off during the Football World Cup Finals. France won the cup, and they won each other's hearts. They bonded over their mutual love for cooking as well as their great sense of humor. However, when it comes to dancing, Karen's got the moves, while Alexis... well, let's say he's got his own unique groove.
Fast forward to July 2023, Alexis proposed to Karen. With a joyful "yes," they decided to take on the adventure of marriage, proving that even if their dance moves don't sync, their love story sure does! 🎉 💃
