The area
Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade is a village of the Aix countryside, between the Durance valley and the Sainte-Victoire mountain, among vineyards. On Sunday morning, the market fills the village square; under 10 km away, an art trail winds through the vines of Château La Coste; in July and August, the La Roque-d'Anthéron piano festival.

How much does a wedding at Château de Fonscolombe cost?
From €85,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the château all yours, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The exact price depends on your date, your guest count and the number of days, 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 the château directly?
You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you its estate and its 50 rooms, and its kitchen writes your menu. You then bring together the furniture and tableware beyond 50 guests, the tent in case the sky changes, the flowers, the music and the photographer. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.
How many guests can we invite?
Up to 140 at table with the château's Michelin-starred kitchen, up to 200 with a caterer, in the south park facing the facade. Up to 110 of you sleep at the château. For 50, everyone sleeps on site and dinner fits at Le Temps Suspendu, the restaurant in the park.
Which dates are still free?
Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing.
Will other hotel guests be there?
No: for your wedding, the château is privately hired. The park, the historic salons, the restaurants, the pool and all 50 rooms are for you and your guests only.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes: in front of the chapel at the end of the plane-tree avenue, or in the forecourt facing the formal garden, between the two dovecotes. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.
Can we have our civil wedding in Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade 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 the château.
And if it rains?
A tent in the park, planned from the start. Beyond 50 guests, the château serves meals outdoors, so we put one up there, glass-walled if you love the idea of it glowing at dusk, ready if the sky changes. The historic salons welcome the smaller moments.
How late can we party?
All the way to the end: after dinner in the park, the château carries the party on at Le Temps Suspendu, its restaurant in the park. The hour for music outdoors, we check with the château for your date and put it in writing with your price.
Where do we get ready?
In the château itself, each of you in your own suite if you like: the Prestige Suite, the largest, looks over the park or the courtyard, and in a historic suite the marble bathtub was once a fountain of the Orangerie. Then only the plane-tree avenue stands between you and the chapel.
Will our families be comfortable, children and grandparents included?
Yes: accessible rooms, cots, high chairs, a babysitting service, a playground in the park and a heated pool. Parking is on site, and dogs are welcome.
Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?
Yes: Aix-en-Provence TGV station is under 30 minutes away, 3 hours from Paris by train, and Marseille airport under 40. The château can arrange private transfers from both, and 110 of your guests sleep on site.
Coming from abroad: how does it work?
Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
