Choosing your estate in Provence, from the Alpilles to the French Riviera

Family farmhouse, hilltop bastide, Mediterranean estate: what distinguishes a great wedding venue, and how to identify it.

Provence has no shortage of beautiful venues. But a great wedding venue is more than just a beautiful photograph: it has a soul, a rhythm, a way of welcoming guests. Here's what we look for when we guide a couple in their choice.

The place tells a story

A family farmhouse in the Alpilles, a hilltop bastide in the Luberon, a property overlooking the Mediterranean: each tells a story. The right place isn't necessarily the most spectacular; it's the one that extends your story and resonates with who you are.

The light and the frame

In Provence, light is everything. We observe the sun's path, the shadows at the end of the day, the hue of the stone at dusk. A venue is also chosen for the way it reveals itself when your guests sit down to eat.

Invisible logistics

Beauty is not enough. Access, nearby accommodation, sheltered areas in case of mistral, smooth traffic flow: a great place is also judged by what is not seen, and which guarantees serenity throughout the day.

Our gaze

We know these venues, their owners, and their constraints. This allows us to guide you to the perfect location, one that will enhance your celebration without ever overshadowing it.
