Location

Pays de la LoireWedding VenuesBelieve it or not, the Chateaux of the Loire was actually founded in the Centre region of France, and not in Pays de la Loire. That being said, that does not mean that this isn’t one of the most spectacular wedding destinations around.

This area is known for having breath-taking fairy tale castles and it is also known for having a rich and cultural history. Another thing that you should know about this area is that it extends from the Atlantic coast! For that reason, if you want to get married with a stunning castle right behind you with the finest wine around then this is a location you should certainly consider.

Wine is very famous here, as this region is home to the Loire Valley, and this is often referred to as being the garden of France. This whole area is agriculturally rich, and it is very countryside themed as well. With rolling hills, it’s safe to say that this region is home to some of the most spectacular sunsets in the whole area. For that reason, if you want a wedding that has a scenic backdrop that you’ll never forget, this is the one for you.
