As a destination wedding planner based in the U.S., I have the pleasure of working with couples who dream of celebrating their love story on a grand, international stage. For those who envision old-world elegance, sweeping countryside views, and effortless sophistication, Chateau de Tourreau in Provence is a venue that consistently surpasses even the most discerning expectations. It’s more than just a location—it’s an experience of French luxury tailored for couples who desire an unforgettable celebration abroad.
The History & Setting of Chateau de Tourreau
Tucked away in the heart of Provence, Chateau de Tourreau is a meticulously restored 18th-century estate that sits on nearly 20 acres of pristine grounds. Surrounded by cypress-lined drives, olive trees, and fragrant gardens, the chateau offers an immersive Provençal experience. The estate is conveniently located in the Rhône Valley, with easy access to Avignon and the Côte d’Azur, making it ideal for couples seeking a romantic, yet logistically sound destination wedding in France.
The chateau itself feels like stepping into a period film—yet with all the modern luxuries today’s couples expect. From the regal symmetry of the architecture to the hand-painted ceilings and antique detailing throughout, every corner whispers timeless refinement.

One of the most compelling features of Chateau de Tourreau is its exclusivity.

In total, the property can comfortably sleep up to 29 guests, allowing for an intimate multi-day celebration with your closest friends and family.
Beyond the bedrooms, the estate includes a full professional kitchen and multiple pristine locations to host a next level event. For the ultimate in relaxation and entertainment, guests can enjoy the heated swimming pool, tennis court, and fitness room, all enveloped in Provençal charm.

The grounds offer multiple event spaces that transition beautifully from day to night: a romantic courtyard ceremony, al fresco dining under strings of lights, dancing in the grand salon, or a late-night fête around the pool. The possibilities are truly endless, and as planners, we can customize each moment to reflect your personal story.
