Weddings & settings
Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Tourreau are shaped by formal gardens and architectural framing, offering settings that feel considered and balanced rather than open-ended.
The estate provides both symbolic and religious options, with multiple locations across the grounds.
Jardins à la Française
Structured and symmetrical, with pathways, fountains, and clipped greenery creating a clear sense of perspective and scale.
Orchards & Organic Gardens
A softer alternative, where rows of trees and cultivated planting create a more relaxed, nature-led setting within the estate.
Château Grounds & Water Features
Ceremonies positioned near ponds or streams introduce movement and reflection, with the château itself often visible in the background.
Private Chapel (1614)
An enclosed, consecrated space for up to 70 guests, offering a more traditional and contained ceremony within the estate.
Each option offers a different balance between structure and openness, allowing the ceremony to align with the tone of the celebration.

Receptions
Weddings at Tourreau feel progressive and estate-wide, with each stage of the day unfolding across a different part of the grounds.
Drinks often begin within the gardens, where guests arrive into open, landscaped space—fountains, pathways, and long views setting the tone. The scale is immediately apparent, with room to move and gather without crowding.
Dinner typically takes place on the château’s main terrace or within a marquee set in the parkland. The atmosphere shifts here—more defined, with tables arranged in clear formations that reflect the structure of the estate. Even at larger guest counts, the layout maintains a sense of order rather than density.
As the evening develops, the celebration consolidates into a more focused space. Dancing can move indoors or remain outside, depending on the setup, with lighting and music shaping the transition from formal to more relaxed.
The experience is guided by the estate itself—each space designed for a specific moment, allowing the day to unfold with clarity and flow.
Staying on Site
Accommodation at Tourreau is spread across the château and its adjoining buildings, hosting up to 29 guests within the estate.
Superior Suites
Located within the château, these larger rooms include the Imperiale Suite, defined by its private terrace and expansive bathroom, alongside other suites with distinct decorative details.
Top-Floor Suites
Positioned on the upper level of the château, offering views across the parkland, with a mix of double and twin configurations.
The Farmhouse (Guest House)
A separate building arranged around a garden, with en-suite bedrooms that mirror the château’s style while offering a slightly more relaxed layout.
Across all accommodation, interiors follow a consistent approach—period detailing, soft colour palettes, and modern additions integrated without disrupting the overall character.
Staying on site allows guests to experience the estate beyond the event itself, moving between rooms, gardens, and shared spaces over several days.

Food & Atmosphere
The food experience at Tourreau is chef-led and setting-driven, shaped by high-level catering and the variety of dining spaces across the estate.
Menus are typically created by external chefs, focusing on seasonal Provençal ingredients, with an emphasis on refinement and presentation. Dining locations shift depending on the moment—formal dinners on the terrace, more relaxed meals by the poolhouse, or outdoor gatherings beneath the trees.
The estate also includes a summer kitchen, allowing for more informal, open-air cooking styles alongside structured dining. Wine plays a central role, with selections drawn from nearby regions such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas.
Food here follows the same logic as the venue—adaptable, but always considered in relation to the space and the wider flow of the celebration.
