Get married in France at these top locations:
Domaine des Escaunes: romance in Provence
Behind the gently rolling fields of lavender and wild thyme, the sun slowly sinks behind the hills. The air smells of jasmine, the cicadas sing their own chanson d'amour, and under an old olive tree, you say “I do”. This is the Provence feeling; everything comes together, soft and intense at the same time.
In the village of Sernhac, between Avignon, Nîmes and Uzès, lies Domaine des Escaunes. This historic estate welcomes you with warm salons, charming rooms and a garden that invites you to hold an open-air ceremony by the pool. Imagine a dinner under the mulberry tree, an aperitif in the evening sun, and a festive toast with 100 guests under the stars. The catering is local and refined, or tailor-made with your own suppliers. Those who wish to stay overnight can enjoy brunch the next morning or a game of pétanque among the olive trees.
Château de Redon: elegance in the Périgord
Further west, in the Périgord, lies Château de Redon: an 18th-century castle with panoramic views over green valleys. This romantic wedding venue combines classic charm with contemporary comfort and invites you to a three-day wedding weekend for up to 100 guests.
The Flemish owners offer flexibility: choose your own caterer, bring a Belgian chef or sample French gastronomy. Ten luxurious rooms in the castle and additional accommodation options nearby complete the picture. The intimate setting, sweeping views and cultural heritage of the region ensure an unforgettable experience.
NOUS: a modern wedding in Languedoc-Roussillon
In Languedoc-Roussillon, among hills, castles and Mediterranean views, NOUS offers a breathtaking and atmospheric wedding setting with creative guidance. Kay and Angela will help you create a special wedding, on their own estate or in one of the two nearby castles. The three locations exude tranquillity and authenticity and can be tailored entirely to your style. NOUS provides tasteful catering or leaves room for your own chef and thinks along with you about every detail. You can spend the night on the estate or in the surrounding castles, with comfort and charm for all guests.
Domaine Château le Risdoux: exclusive wedding in the French Ardennes
Closer to home, there is another French gem: Domaine Château le Risdoux, just across the Belgian border in the French Ardennes. Located in a private valley on the Meuse, surrounded by gardens and ponds, this estate is the ideal setting for a romantic wedding with historical grandeur. Up to sixty guests can stay overnight, either in the castle itself or in charming outbuildings. The catering perfectly matches the character of the location and the multilingual wedding planner is happy to help you with style and concept. From bohemian to classic, getting married in France is a wonderful experience here.
