We warn you, however. All world rankings are subjective! so that you understand what follows here is how we proceeded to arrive at this classification.
We have integrated the fact that after the COVID-19 pandemic there was a strong need to come together and therefore to to have an all in one place or One Shop Solution as the English say. Reception venue on site obviously but above all we favored the castles where there were several solutions on the same site in case the format of the wedding changes, the date changes, the rain gets involved… in short, we assigned an bonus for usable square meters.
Then we awarded a bonus to places that can accommodate your guests on site. A wedding is not just an evening, it’s often a week where people meet, find each other, obviously unite and share lots of memories, including the next day and even sometimes the following days.
Finally, we have also improved the castles which have places of consecrated spirituality because this allows weddings to take place in a conviviality not feint with the one who set up the wedding preparation.
Hands down, it’s the Château de la Chaume who wins this competition!
- La Chaume, Calamus Castle in Pont l’abbé d’Arnoult. 10th century castle, La Chaume is a unique place in Charente-Maritime. With its 4,000m² interior, the owners guarantee you the exclusivity of the place by entrusting you with the keys to this residence. The Château de La Chaume has two unique qualities in the region: it has 60 rooms and nearly 150 beds and a consecrated chapel in which you can celebrate your union. There are also 3 lodgings on site, unlimited parking and also a second unconsecrated chapel. In short, there is everything and more since there are 6 reception rooms! We looked for you, there is no better. There is prettier, yes, but there is no better. When you unite 2 people, 2 families, you do not scatter your family throughout the Charente-Maritime. A wedding is a meeting and the ONLY place that allows this is at PLB17, pont l’abbé d’Arnoult, 17250 at Château de la Chaume. Grab a good wedding planner to handle it all and go for it.
- The castle of La Gataudière in Marennes. An 18th century castle, it will surprise you with its impressive dimensions and well-maintained outdoor spaces. It is also our favorite because it is a human place and humanized by the Murat family who maintain it with love and passion. If the accommodations at La Chaume are free, you can combine La Chaume and La Gataudière for your wedding.
- The Château de Puyrigaud in Léoville. Former residence built in the 15th century, enter a festive and romantic place. That’s also marriage, romance and love
- The castle of Mouillepied in Port d’Envaux. This château has a marquee with wooden floors and a canopy, an orangery, vaulted rooms, and a large park. It is located 15 minutes from the Château de la Chaume so you can do a combo like for La Gataudière. Use the exceptional hotel capacities of La Chaume and enjoy the panorama of Mouillepied just next door. A good package.
- The Lordship in Rouffiac. Located in the heart of Saintonge, this castle can accommodate up to 300 people in an enchanting setting.
- La Roche Courbon in Saint Porchaire. Located in a superb wooded area, the château de la Roche Courbon has several reception areas as well as French gardens. We don’t show it anymore. This is perfection made in Charente-Maritime.
- The Château de Théon in Cozes. Built in the 15th century, the château has a strong charisma and welcomes small weddings of less than 40 people.
- The Château de Mirambeau in Mirambeau. The castle has its own chef who will create specific menus for each newlywed couple.
- The Château de Laléard in Saint-Hilaire de Villefranche. Calm and authentic, you will feel the peace and calm of this 16th century structure.
- The Abbey of the Grace of God in Benon. This castle will receive you for a rustic and chic wedding.
