We're renovating the castle during winter time :) Towards 2026 we are working to have around 40 beds available on site. We also contemplate offering additional on-site accommodation in luxury tents towards 2026. We’re happy to know if this interests you.

Personal & Sustainable
We are a small personal location. We’ll plan the wedding together and accompany you during your day and stay and sometimes even as bartender or chef! That’s why we do only a limited number of weddings per season.
We believe there's no future of love, if we don't show love for our future. Hence, we source the best local and biological and seasonal food in collaboration with parties that share our values of quality and sustainability. We work with a small team of excellent locals that genuinely enjoy what they do and put their heart to it!

Feel free to get in touch to discuss the ideas you have for your wedding.

We still have a few 2025 dates available and offer some awesome discounts (up to 2000€!) for our last dates!

Please don't forget to also provide your phone number since we always also send a link to our info to you via Whatsapp or SMS. This because we have a recurrent issue with our emails ending up in spam boxes which we haven't manage to get solved. Thank you

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 had our wedding her in July 2024. All I can say is WOW! From start to finish, the whole weekend was amazing, everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how well organised everything was. The photos of this venue do not do it justice and it did not disappoint. The owners were great, they are such lovely people and were able to help whenever needed. We have the most beautiful photos of our wedding day, as the grounds were perfect. The food was delicious and all the vendors they recommended couldn't have been more perfect. We have huge holiday blues after visiting the Chateau, hopefully we can come back one day to enjoy a fabulous weekend again.

  • We had our wedding at the Countryside Castle in June 2024 and we could not have wished for a venue more beautiful and full of love. It is the most romatic castle in the beautiful French countryside run by a wonderful family. The owners made our wedding weekend laid back and relaxing weekend we had always wanted and we are still reliving the memories. A beautiful backdrop surrounded by beautiful people, we could not recommend more!
