This Countryside Chateau dates from the 12th century, the heyday of this region when the front line between the French and the English battalions lay right here during the 100-year war. In 1204, then Pope Clement de IV even spent a few nights here! The picturesque bastide towns and many castles also date from that time. The region is also called the Tuscany of France; with a romantic rolling landscape with rich nature. There are various fantastic routes for hiking and MTB straight from our terrains. It is the region of the good life, with "summer" from spring to autumn, no less than 13 AOC wines and the organic/bio region of France.

The buildings of the Chateau are set around a private courtyard with herb garden where you can enjoy the last sunshine until late evening. The castle is surrounded by a large park garden with swimming pool and various terraces. The driveway with impressive old plane trees brings you under the tower. The atmosphere of earlier centuries is still present everywhere, gaps, thick walls, high chic spaces, the tower with a magnificent view.

With respect for history and nature, we have renovated our castle as comfortable as possible for our guests; from swimming pool to our own mini cinema. We organize special once-in-a-lifetime celebrations for up to 120 people.

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!
