A unique opportunity awaits those who book their special day at this château. The venue provides many options to create a one-of-a-kind event. Our wonderful bi-lingual staff will help to make your dreams come true. Your ceremony can be held in the open air or in the château’s 11th century Lord’s chapel. Or, you can get married in the church in the village, and afterward lead the wedding party up to the castle. It is possible to begin your event in the garden and continue within the chateau's inner spaces.
Receptions held on the great lawn in front of the moat for 120 offer a superb view of the castle. On the other side of the drawbridge, within fortified walls, an open-air courtyard can accommodate an aperitif or buffet for 75, or a sit-down dinner for up to 60 guests.
Music, food, and bar stations can be set up throughout the property. For intimate dinner parties, guests will be invited to sit down in the Lord’s dining room for a fantasy come true. Yes, there are thrones from the 15th-century table in front of the enormous fireplace. Yes, there are crowns for the guests of honor, and a massive medieval chandelier and armor in the corner. This room can accommodate 12 people at the main table, and 20 if another table is set up. The front lawn can accommodate 120 guests for a reception or an aperitif.
The village boasts beautiful pastoral landscapes along the Aveyron river with wonderful views of the château from its historic bridge, just across from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The château is primarily a venue only, and with the exception of the tower suite, but accommodations for about 100 guests are available in the village in gites, B&B’s and a hotel. (reservations required).
The Château is a historic landmark normally open to the public. About 30,000 visitors every season are welcomed to enjoy a self-guided tour throughout the fortress and discover the history, architecture, and exhibition spaces within it. People often comment about the wonderful experience of feeling so much life within the ancient stones. Your guests will be invited to take a complimentary guided tour or follow their feet to explore on their own. The château’s rich history begins in its 8th-century pre-Romanesque chapel.
On the day of your event part of the property is privatized for your wedding party at 13:00h. Our lovely upper garden area is the perfect place for an “inner circle” luncheon. This area has a cool, medieval gazebo, plenty of courtyard seating, space for a little buffet, and convenient access to the wedding parties' private rooms. The space within the castle for the wedding party includes a huge bathroom, and a large sitting room with a dining table that seats 14. There is wifi and a crib area. The private pool garden area is yours for a spectacular photo shoot. It is also an extremely fun place for a pool party the day after. Swimming in the pool next to the vaulting tower with a view of the landscape is a guaranteed epic memory.
