The Estate offers many beautiful options for your celebrations. If you would like an al-fresco celebration then the area under the main balcony of the honeymoon suite is a favourite! There is also the front of the Château which is equally beautiful and then an additional large lawn behind the picturesque swimming pool with views of the hills and valley beyond. There is ample room to erect a marquee which we can help to organise on request.

Our large hall with its exposed wooden beams can cater for up to 70 guests seated or for larger groups for dancing. It leads out on to an extensive terrace with views of the Chateau.

During your stay, you and your guests can enjoy two kitchens, dining area, library/living room, hall, two swimming pools and beautiful grounds. We can provide children's cots and mattresses in the rooms at no extra cost and several of the rooms are perfect for families.

On the estate there are two swimming pools, surrounded by sun loungers, plenty of grounds to explore and our friendly donkey, loves to come and say hello!

Location

Ah, Nouvelle-Aquitaine! Home to Aquitaine, Limousin and Poitou-Charentes. This is quite possibly the ideal wedding destination for any happy couple.

Aquitaine is home to Bordeaux and it is more than possible for you to get married near to the breath-taking Dordogne, or even near the Basque Villages. This is along the Spanish border and there is so much for you to see and do. The hot springs that are in Nouvelle-Aquitaine are not to be missed and this is great if you want to pamper yourself after the big day. Poitou-Charentes is on the Atlantic Coast and the sandy white beaches are culturally stimulating ad the most beautiful location to get married in France. Famous for its beautiful architecture as well as its incredible food and wine, This region has it all. Castles from yesteryear adorn every hilltop and the region is a must for anyone who enjoys their food. Local specilaities include truffles, foie gras, prunes and of course wine, so every wedding will be full of amazing cuisine and your guests will not be disappointed. If it is the classic French chateau that you are after for your wedding in France then you have to conside Nouvelle Aquitaine and the surrounding areas!

Of course, you also have the Marias Poitevan wetlands, and this is not to be missed either. You can get to this area via train and flights also run to this area as well. This is easily one of the most beautiful areas for wedding venues in the whole of France and the activities there include horse riding, wine-tasting and relaxing on some of the sandy shores. The region features many destinations with cultural and touristic significance locations like the Citadel of Blaye, Saint-Emilion, La Rochelle, Aquarium, Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat. All of these areas have a rich historical background that could be considered when choosing wedding venues in the region. Nothing can quite compare to the experience you will get when you visit this location, and it is one of the best places for you to say those special words, “I Do!”.

Reviews

  • We cannot recommend this chateau enough! Every single step of the way, the staff at the chateau were super helpful and inviting. It was scary to plan a wedding in France all the way from California, but Josie from the chateau made sure to send us pictures and videos of everything we would need to make the decision. And I'm so glad we did!! 21 of our loved ones came to the chateau to stay the week with us and then celebrate our wedding. When we pulled up to the chateau everyone's jaws hit the floor. Like other people said, the pictures are gorgeous but in person it's even more incredible. For the wedding day, we did the ceremony on the front lawn, cocktail hour at the Maison garden and then went inside to the Hall for dinner and dancing. Everything was so magical and there's a lot of cool towns, caves, and gardens for you and your guests to explore that are less than an hour from the chateau. It was absolutely memories that all of us will cherish for a lifetime and we are already excited to book the chateau for a reunion for one of our anniversaries!!

  • My husband and I recently hosted our wedding at the chateau and had a wonderful time. The building is beautiful and met our needs well. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to keep all of the festivities outside.

    While we were there, we were given a concierge to speak to if we needed anything. He was very helpful in getting our guests cabs from the venue to the train station.

    The pool was wonderful and the rooms were very comfortable. It was so nice to be able to have all of our guests in one place! We would definitely recommend it to other couples looking for a quiet, romantic place to get married with their closest friends and family.
