Elopement Abroad

Recently engaged and trying to begin the wedding planning.
Neither of us want a big wedding and are happy to go abroad just the two of us. Not really keen on the typical beach elopement's, but quite fancy a week or so maybe away somewhere with great food (preferably Michelin star options) and perhaps near a vineyard for wine tastings. France I think would be good for this if anyone has any recommendations. Legally, we don't mind too much getting married in our local city hall and then heading away. I don't much ideas but if any of you have had any elopements would be great to hear about them for some inspiration!

You both have to be legally resident in France in the town you want to marry in for 40 days before you can marry there.

However, it should be pretty straightforward to marry here and then have a religious or other ceremony there (you need to take your marriage certificate with you to prove that your civil service has taken place)
