A 15th-century chateau, exclusively yours, on 40 private hectares: a ceremony among the vines, dinner by our chef, the estate's own wines, and rooms for your loved ones.
Looking for a wedding chateau in France that feels like a family home rather than a venue? At the end of an avenue of century-old trees, in the south-west of France between Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, Château Prieuré Marquet hosts one wedding at a time.
