Château de Blois
James V continued to press Francis I for Madeleine's hand, and despite his reservations and nagging fears, Francis I reluctantly granted permission to the marriage only after Madeleine made her interest in marrying James very obvious. The court moved from Amboise to the Château de Blois, and the marriage contract was signed on 26 November 1536. They were married on 1 January 1537 at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. There was a banquet that night in the Louvre Palace.
