Outside Spaces to Discover
The Raysse Estate comprises 12 hectares of land, divided up by historic buildings into a variety of beautiful outside spaces. Each space has its own unique charm and lends itself to different styles of celebration; from the breathtaking open views on the back lawn, to the intimacy of the walled garden behind the Maison du Parc.
For your wedding or event, this means you can personalise your day by choosing your perfect backdrop for some of the separate elements of your wedding or event. Enjoy a ceremony under the arch, a wedding breakfast on the back lawn or in the Maison garden, before dancing the night away in the Maison Hall.
The Front Lawn
The Cart Lodge
The Cart Lodge is a covered event space with hard standing, offering views of the front lawn and plenty of rustic french character. Keep celebrations al fresco while offering a bit of cover. It’s perfect for providing shade in the hotter months, or shelter if the weather turns!
Couples often choose this space to serve drinks and canapés following a ceremony on the front lawn.

The Back Lawn
The Maison Garden
Poolside
Get together after the big day, or in fact any time during your stay, to enjoy the two large swimming pools on the estate.
The main pool sits just beyond the back lawn of the Château with easy access to the kitchen, making it ideal for catering poolside.
The second pool is set amongst secluded trees and hedges, the perfect corner to relax or for younger guests to make a splash!
Both pools are alarmed for your safety.

Each space lends itself perfectly to the different elements of your celebration. Enjoy a ceremony under the arch, an elegant cocktail reception on the back lawn and dining in the Maison Garden, before dancing the night away in the Events Hall.
The ceremony arch and front lawn
An idyllic setting with beautiful views of the Château, the stone archway opens onto a charming courtyard that provides a romantic backdrop for wedding ceremonies and photographs. Framed by cypress trees and surrounded by nature, the aisle can be lined with chairs or benches, creating an intimate setting for guests to witness your special moment.
The back lawn with views to the pool and Château
Whatever the season or the occasion, the lawn of the Château with its fairy tale tower and balcony provides an excellent space for your cocktail reception.
With its dramatic towers, beautiful greenery and a tropical twist of palm trees and banana plants, the large lawn is ideal for relaxed cocktails and canapés after for your wedding ceremony.
On one side it leads down to the swimming pool and the other leads back to the front lawn. It also has direct access to the Château kitchen.
The Maison Garden
The Pigeonnier Pool
After the celebrations, or at any point during your stay, gather by the large Pigeonnier pool, an inviting space for relaxing and spending time together.
With easy access to the catering facilities, as well as the Maison and Pigeonnier gardens, it is an ideal setting for the day after the wedding. Arrange a food truck, enjoy a barbecue or simply make the most of a relaxed afternoon by the pool.
The Château pool is also available throughout your stay, offering a peaceful place to unwind and a beautiful backdrop for wedding photographs.
