Chateau de Tourreau
Our verdict

An elegant 18th century chateau in the heart of Provence, hired exclusively, with a consecrated chapel, formal gardens and the polish of a property used to hosting grand weddings.

Chateau de Tourreau sits near Sarrians in the Vaucluse, within reach of Avignon and the wider Provence countryside. It is a refined, manicured estate rather than a rustic farmhouse, with 8 hectares of parkland, an infinity pool and a chapel on the grounds, and it is taken privately for the duration of a celebration.

It suits a couple who want a classic French chateau wedding with real space for a larger guest list by day and a smaller party staying on site. The chateau hosted the wedding of Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas in 2019, which speaks to its pedigree for high end celebrations.

The venue in detail

A consecrated chapel, formal gardens and an infinity pool.

Chateau de Tourreau is an 18th century chateau set in 8 hectares of enclosed parkland near Sarrians, in the Vaucluse corner of Provence. The estate is formal and beautifully kept, with manicured gardens, mature trees, fountains and an infinity pool, and it carries the symmetry and grandeur you picture when you think of a French chateau wedding. It is private and walled, which gives a celebration both seclusion and a real sense of arrival.

A rare feature is the consecrated chapel on the grounds, which seats roughly 50 to 70 guests and allows an intimate ceremony on site before a larger reception. Outdoors there is ample room in the gardens and parkland for a ceremony, a long dinner and dancing, so the property handles a sizeable guest list with ease while keeping the smaller, more personal moments close.

The chateau is hired for exclusive use, with accommodation for up to around 29 guests across the chateau itself and the adjacent guest buildings. Receptions can run to around 150 to 160 guests, which makes it suited to a wedding where the wider party stays nearby and the closest family and friends sleep on the estate. In peak season, roughly June to September, the chateau is typically taken on a multi night basis.

Pricing for Tourreau is quoted on request and depends on the season, the number of nights and your guest count, so a precise figure comes directly from the estate. As a luxury exclusive use chateau, a full wedding here sits at the upper end of Provence pricing once catering, drinks, decor and production are included. Treat any figure as indicative and confirm directly.

Logistics, told straight
Getting there
Avignon is the nearest hub, with its TGV station around 30 to 40 minutes by road and direct fast trains from Paris. Marseille and Nimes airports are within reach, and most international guests connect through Paris. Arrange transfers for guests staying in Avignon or the surrounding villages.
Exclusive use
The estate is taken privately for your celebration, so the chateau, chapel, gardens and pool are yours. Build a two or three day programme around it, since the property is set up for a weekend rather than a single afternoon.
The legal bit
Most international couples complete the legal marriage at home and hold a symbolic ceremony, often in the chapel or gardens, at the chateau. A local planner will confirm the current French requirements and timings for your nationality.
The weather and season
Provence summers are hot and dry, beautiful for evening parties but strong for a midday ceremony. Late spring and September give warm light with gentler heat. The mistral wind can blow, so a sheltered plan for the ceremony is wise.
