Description

Set in the foothills of the Pyrenees, this ancient abbey which was converted to a château in the 18th century and dominates the small village in the Ariège. Surrounded by nature, you feel as though you have been taken back in time sitting on the terrace with a glass of crémant de Limoux. The rooms overlook the terraced garden which boasts one of the biggest Magnolia Grandiflora in Europe. All the bedrooms are en-suite and each one is differently decorated. Egyptian percale linen, fluffy white towels and feather bedding all make for a good's night sleep.

The château is available for exclusive use throughout the year, including the winter months. In the summer we can cater for up to 80 people outside in the cloisters. In the colder months we can cater for up to 50. Whatever the season, Tom Sleigh, our chef, cooks great food using superb local and seasonal ingredients.

Breakfast on the terrace, drinks in the garden and dinner in the cloisters are all part of the experience. Facilities include swimming pool, parking in the grounds, library with wi-fi, mature, terraced gardens and table tennis room.

Prices on exclusive use packages for weekends, mid-week or even winter breaks are available on request- please send an email to Katie or Peter for more information. We can provide cots and we accept small dogs, 8 euros per night.

Location

Occitanie Wedding VenuesOccitanie is a mixture of Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées. Languedoc-Roussillon is known for their Mediterranean cuisine and it stretches from the famous Rhone River to the Spanish border.

This region can offer a great climate with an absolutely stunning coastline. You will also find that Carcassonne is here, and the Canal Du Midi is the perfect place for you to spend your first moments as husband and wife. The other region here is Midi-Pyrénées. This takes its name from The Pyrénées, which is the mountain which runs right through it. It is actually the largest region in France when you look at the size, and the rivers there are phenomenal. This alone makes it a sublime wedding location, so if you want to take some spectacular photos by the river or if you want the best, city-scenic backdrop then this is certainly the right location for you.

Getting there is very easy, and for the coastal properties there are often boat rides available if you wanted to treat your guests to something really special. This is just one of the many reasons why so many people choose this location as their number one wedding destination, and the natural scenery is not to be missed.

 

Reviews

  • It's hard to describe what makes this such a great place. First and foremost, the owners, Katie and Peter are wonderfully friendly, helpful and creative hosts. They have restored a beautiful 10th Century abbey perched on a small hill at the heart of the tiny village of Camon and turned it into a Chambre d'hotes which is an oasis of such under-stated luxury and tranquillity that it would be hard to match anywhere.

  • Wedded Bliss... My husband and I got married at the chateau in July 2016. From the moment we stepped foot inside the chateau we knew it was the perfect wedding venue for us. The chateau has such a special feel about it and it's probably the most romantic location and building you will ever find!
