In Photos: Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl's partners enjoy getaway in French Riviera with 'Chateau all to themselves'
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have had a busy offseason so far. From engagements to weddings, the Oilers duo has had much to celebrate off-the-ice.
This time, their partners, Lauren Kyle and Celeste Desjardins, took a girls trip together to France after closing the festivities of the McDavids’ wedding event. Earlier on Sunday, Celeste teased leaving Cologne, Germany, to go ‘venue hunting’ with Lauren in France.
While Desjardins has not clarified the exact purpose of their trip, it seems the duo is enjoying every bit of their French getaway. On Tuesday, Lauren posted a series of clips and pictures on her Instagram story from their trip.
They dined in French restaurants and went sightseeing in the area. They both stayed at a French chateau in the initial part of their trip and Lauren posted a short compilation of the fun moments from their stay. The girls can be seen playing pool, piano and simply having the time of their life in the TikTok video.
"Chateau to ourselves? Shouldnt have 🤫 @Celeste Desjardins", Lauren Kyle wrote in the caption of the video.
Lauren also reposted Celeste's stories on her account, including snaps from their stay at the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat. In the last picture posted on her story, Lauren wore a yellow dress while standing on the balcony of their hotel room.
“All smiles,” she captioned the picture.
Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle tied the knot where Connor proposed to Lauren in 2023
On July 27, Lauren Kyle and Connor McDavid got married at their special cottage in Muskoka, Ontario. It was the exact location where Connor had gotten down on one knee earlier last year.
“Connor told me we had a charity event at a golf course in Muskoka to attend,” Lauren narrated the story of the surprise engagement to Vogue. “As we were on our way to the event from the City, we stopped at our cottage to drop off our dog Lenard, to my surprise as we got out of the car there was a trail of flowers leading us to a beautiful set-up on the deck.”
The gala event saw a week-long pre-wedding and post-wedding celebration in presence of their family, friends, and McDavid’s teammates. Connor's brother Cam McDavid and Oilers' Leon Draisaitl were among the groomsmen, while Celeste Desjardins, Cam’s partner Sarah Nanacsik, Liv Hall, Pat Maroon’s wife Francesca Maroon and Sam Gagner’s wife Rachel Gagner were the bridesmaids.
From old-money-themed rehearsal dinners to a ‘disco-dream’ afterparty headlined by Loud Luxury, the couple has made cherishable memories with their family and friends.
