Why we love Airelles Gordes, La Bastide

Here, you say yes on the edge of a cliff: terraced gardens clinging to the ramparts of Gordes, cypresses, olive trees, and the whole Luberon valley below. The village is all around you, and your people will talk for a long time about dinner in the garden, as the sun goes down over the valley.

The area

Gordes sits on its rock facing the Luberon, among the most beautiful villages in France, its Renaissance castle a listed monument. The market fills the village square on Tuesday mornings, Sénanque Abbey lies in the next valley, and the hotel lends its guests a vintage 2CV and electric bikes to explore the villages around.

Who is Fervenza?

Fervenza is a French company for all-inclusive weddings. With Émilie and the whole team, we're already planning weddings for 2027 and 2028.

  • A French company, licensed for live events Your contract is governed by French law, and written in English too
  • Insured for professional liability
How much does a wedding at La Bastide cost?

From €303,000, all-inclusive, for about 60 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you get it in writing within a week.

Can the price change?

Once you agree, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, or something you add along the way.

What if one of our suppliers can't make it?

We replace them. They're our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.

Can we insure our wedding?

Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd's. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can't be there, as set out in the policy terms.

What if we booked La Bastide directly?

You can, it's a beautiful house. La Bastide rents you its garden, its reception room, the terrace for your vows and 8 rooms, and its kitchen cooks dinner. You then bring together the flowers, the furniture, the photographer, the music and the stationery. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and La Bastide keeps its own rate. You come to get married.

How many guests can we invite?

Up to 120 at table, in the gardens of La Bastide and of its villa. Our base suits about 60 guests; beyond that, the house advises adding the Maison de Constance, its private villa, with its olive garden.

Will other hotel guests be there?

Yes, La Bastide stays open as a hotel. On your day, the garden and the reception room are yours from 8 am to 2 am, the terrace too for your vows, and your people fill the rooms around you. To have the whole house, it can be privately hired from April to October.

Which dates are still free?

La Bastide hosts weddings from April to October. Tell us your date, we check with La Bastide and reply in writing.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: on the panoramic terrace at 4:30 pm, the Luberon valley before you, or in the terraced gardens, between cypresses and olive trees. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.

Can we have our civil wedding in Gordes?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the hotel. Gordes town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at La Bastide.

Until what time can we party?

Until 2 am in the reception room, after dinner in the gardens. If you want to carry on, two more hours can be booked, until 4 am: tell us, we add them to your price.

What if it rains?

It's planned: La Bastide keeps a sheltered fallback for your day, inside the house. We visit it with you on the same day as the garden, so that both options feel just as lovely, and you know where everything happens whatever the sky.

Where do we get ready?

In the suites of La Bastide, among the 8 kept for you. The house can bring a sweet and savoury buffet with a glass of champagne while you get ready, and the Guerlain spa is a few steps away.

When is the lavender in bloom?

From mid-June to mid-July around Gordes, with Sénanque Abbey in the next valley. For a wedding in that window, the photos among the lavender are a lovely moment for you two.

Will our families be comfortable?

Yes: the house has a lift and is wheelchair accessible with a little help. It is built in terraces on the cliff, so we plan the easiest path with you for the grandparents. In summer a kids' club, from age 3, has its own pool, and dogs are welcome at no extra cost.

Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?

Yes: Marseille airport is 45 minutes away, Avignon 30 minutes to an hour by road, and Paris is 2 h 40 from Avignon TGV station. Eight rooms and suites wait for them at La Bastide itself, and about a hundred more rooms in four hotels around the village.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
