Found them! 🥂 Amongst the popping of corks and the Found them! 🥂 Amongst the popping of corks and the general (but very chic) wedding mayhem, Kelsey and John managed to escape for a cheeky stolen moment. There’s something quite sublime about the way the afternoon light hits our ancient stone walls, making everything feel just a bit more fairytale. It’s definitely our favourite kind of quiet—authentic, effortless, and full of character.

On les a trouvés ! 🥂 Entre les bouchons qui sautent et le joyeux remue-ménage (très chic) du mariage, Kelsey et John ont réussi à s'échapper pour un petit moment volé. Il y a quelque chose de tout à fait sublime dans la façon dont la lumière de l'après-midi frappe nos murs de pierre, rendant chaque instant un peu plus féerique. C'est sans aucun doute notre moment de calme préféré : authentique, naturel et plein de caractère.

Ever wondered what a sanctuary looks like from abo Ever wondered what a sanctuary looks like from above? 🏰✨

Kelsey and John’s 'slow wedding' was the perfect reminder that the best celebrations aren't rushed. Looking down at the estate, you can spot our two pools shimmering in the Dordogne sun, tucked away in our little corner of paradise. It’s not just a venue; it’s a place to breathe, celebrate, and maybe even forget what day of the week it is. Absolute bliss. 

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé à quoi ressemble un sanctuaire vu d'en haut ? 🏰✨

Le 'slow wedding' de Kelsey et John nous a rappelé que les meilleures célébrations ne sont pas pressées. En admirant le domaine, on aperçoit nos deux piscines scintiller sous le soleil de la Dordogne, nichées dans notre petit coin de paradis. Ce n'est pas seulement un lieu ; c'est un endroit pour respirer, célébrer, et peut-être même oublier quel jour on est. Le bonheur absolu.

It’s all in the details, isn't it? While our 12th- It’s all in the details, isn't it? While our 12th-century tower and 17th-century main house provide the grand backdrop, it’s these cheeky little personal touches that truly bring Kelsey and John’s big day to life. From the sublime lace to those sharp cufflinks, everything felt perfectly at home amidst our ancient stone walls. We do love a bit of authentic character, especially when it looks this effortlessly romantic. 

Tout est dans les détails, n'est-ce pas ? Si notre tour du XIIe siècle et notre maison principale du XVIIe siècle offrent un décor grandiose, ce sont ces petites touches personnelles qui donnent vie au grand jour de Kelsey et John. De la dentelle sublime aux boutons de manchette élégants, tout était parfaitement à sa place au milieu de nos vieux murs en pierre. Nous adorons ce caractère authentique, surtout quand le résultat est aussi romantique.

Ever wondered where the couple disappears to when Ever wondered where the couple disappears to when the champagne starts flowing? 🥂 While the party is in full swing back at the castle, our wild meadow becomes a private sanctuary for those first quiet moments as newlyweds. There’s something sublime about the golden hour glow here—it’s effortlessly romantic and just a bit magic. No crowds, no schedules, just the soft buzz of the Dordogne countryside and a moment to breathe it all in. It’s not just a field; it’s your own secret corner of the world. 🌾

✨ Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé où s'éclipsent les mariés quand le champagne commence à couler ? 🥂 Alors que la fête bat son plein au château, notre prairie sauvage devient un sanctuaire privé pour ces premiers moments de calme en tant que jeunes mariés. Il y a quelque chose de sublime dans l'éclat de l'heure dorée ici — c'est une romance sans effort et un peu magique. Pas de foule, pas d'horaire, juste le doux bourdonnement de la campagne périgourdine et un moment pour tout savourer. Ce n'est pas seulement un champ ; c'est votre propre coin secret du monde. 🌾✨

What are the requirements for getting married in F What are the requirements for getting married in France?

For UK citizens there are two ways to get married in France, and one is much more straightforward than the other. Either way, French law only recognises civil marriage, so a civil ceremony is essential at some stage. The requirements depend on which route you choose - we explain both routes in more detail on our website.

France is home to some of the most romantic venues and landscapes in the world, and with only a little extra bit of admin and planning, you can create a truly unique and special day for you and your families.

What better way to start your married life than with an adventure?

September is a beautiful time for a wedding in the Dordogne - the intense heat of the summer begins to mellow and averages around 24°c, ideal for daytime and early evening celebrations in the grounds.
