A wedding at Château de la Gaude takes place in a setting where every volume, material, and perspective tells the story of a certain art of living. The bastide, classified as a historical monument, stands in perfect balance between classical rigor and Provençal softness. You enter as if into a suspended world, between vines and cypress trees, where light is a welcome guest at every hour.
The interior salons, like the exterior gardens, lend themselves to different wedding moments: ceremony beneath century-old trees, open-air dinner facing the sunset, evening celebrations in the intimate vaulted cellar or orangery. Each space becomes a setting in its own right.
A wedding at Château de la Gaude isn’t improvised: it’s precisely crafted. It’s a place of passage, but also of anchoring — accompanying a rare moment by giving it a depth that few venues offer.
Château de la Gaude is not just a reception venue. It’s an estate inhabited by art, wine, and taste. For a wedding at Château de la Gaude, everything is already in place: a five-star hotel with 21 rooms and suites spread across the bastide and longhouses, a wine cellar featuring over 3,000 selections, a Valmont spa, and four restaurants that take guests on a journey far beyond Provence.
The Michelin-starred restaurant Le Art is an experience in itself, offering powerful and unique dishes. Le Kaiseki, paying homage to Kyoto’s Japanese cuisine, provides an elegant and precise counterpoint. La Source and Le K brilliantly complete the offering: contemporary brasserie and fusion cuisine coexist with lightness.
By choosing a wedding at Château de la Gaude, you’re offering your guests much more than a ceremony. You’re providing them with a stay, an immersion, a sensory interlude in the South of France.
