A true private estate rather than a hotel, so you and your guests have the whole chateau and its grounds to yourselves for the weekend.
Accommodation on site is intimate, around twenty nine beds, so the wider party stays nearby while the inner circle sleeps at the chateau.
Best for couples who want a refined, exclusive Provence celebration with the ceremony, dinner and party all held in private.
Chateau de Tourreau is a private estate near Sarrians in the Vaucluse, let on exclusive hire for weddings. The grounds run to about twenty acres of formal gardens, lawns and an infinity pool, with a consecrated chapel that seats around seventy and outdoor receptions for up to about one hundred and fifty. The chateau and its adjoining farm sleep around twenty nine, so it suits a private multi day celebration where the closest family stay on site and the rest of the party lodges close by.
A private Provence chateau for the weekend.
Chateau de Tourreau sits in the countryside near Sarrians, a short drive from Carpentras and Avignon in the Vaucluse, the heart of inland Provence. It is taken on exclusive hire, which means the chateau, its salons, the formal gardens, the lawns and the infinity pool are yours alone for the length of your stay. That privacy is the whole point. There are no other guests to work around and no fixed hotel rhythm, only your wedding unfolding across the estate at its own pace.
For the day itself the estate offers genuine range. A consecrated chapel on the grounds seats around seventy for a ceremony, the gardens and lawns hold an outdoor reception for up to roughly one hundred and fifty, and the salons give a handsome wet weather alternative. The main house and the adjoining farm together sleep around twenty nine, with suites of real character, so the immediate family wakes up where the wedding happens while the larger party stays in nearby villas and hotels.
The honest caveat is scale. This is an estate built for an elegant celebration of moderate size, not a five hundred guest gala, and the on site beds are limited, so a large guest list means arranging accommodation across the area and managing transfers. Provence in high summer is also hot and can be busy, and the mistral wind occasionally sweeps the valley. For couples who want a private, tasteful Provence wedding held entirely on their own ground, those are easy trades to make.
The practical things, told straight.
A Tourreau wedding is a private estate hire over several days, so the figure reflects exclusive use, accommodation and a celebration built largely from scratch with your own suppliers. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly with the estate.
What it costs
As an indicative December 2025 guide, an exclusive multi day hire of an estate of this calibre in Provence usually runs well into six figures all in, often between EUR 70,000 and EUR 300,000 depending on guest numbers, length of stay, catering and production. The venue hire is only part of the total, since most suppliers are brought in. Confirm current rates directly with the estate.
Capacity and spaces
The consecrated chapel seats around seventy for a ceremony, outdoor receptions in the gardens reach up to about one hundred and fifty, and the salons offer a sheltered option. The chateau and farm sleep around twenty nine in total. Confirm the spaces and bed count for your numbers.
Getting there
The estate lies near Sarrians in the Vaucluse, around half an hour from Avignon and roughly an hour from Marseille Provence airport, with the Avignon TGV station putting Paris within reach by train. Most guests stay in nearby villas, hotels and the towns of Carpentras and Avignon and travel in by transfer.
When to marry here
May, June and September give warm, settled Provence weather before and after the fierce heat of high summer. July and August are hot and the area is busy, and the mistral can blow hard at any time, so the shoulder months are the wiser choice for a long outdoor celebration.
