Your wedding at Le Galinier

From €60,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests, in April, May or October: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. From June to September it costs a little more. Your exact price depends on your date and guest count, in writing within a week.

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

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.

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.

You can, it's a lovely house. Le Galinier rents you the bastide and its three houses for 2 days or more, breakfast included. You then bring together the caterer, the drinks, the decor, the music and the photographer, and the house asks for a wedding planner. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and Le Galinier keeps its own rate. You come to get married.

Up to 120, for the ceremony, drinks and dinner outdoors. 32 sleep on site; at 32, everyone stays at the estate. Beyond that, Le Moulin round the corner welcomes 70 more.

Tell us your date, we check with Le Galinier and reply in writing. The estate's season runs from April to October.

Yes, under the estate's hundred-year-old tree, your guests seated among the almond trees, or on the lawn in the shade of the tall trees. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the bastide. Lourmarin 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 Le Galinier.

Yes: Avignon TGV station is 45 minutes away, Avignon airport 46, Marseille airport 55. The house can arrange transfers from any of them, and 32 of your guests sleep on site.

On foot, most of them: 32 sleep at Le Galinier, and Le Moulin, round the corner, takes 70 more. Those staying further out, at Capelongue or elsewhere, have addresses we give you, ready to share with your loved ones.

At La Maison du Chef, the bridal house: 150 m² over three floors, three bedrooms, a private terrace and garden, breakfast in your room and a glass of champagne. If you'd rather get ready apart, the other one of you takes the Loft Blanc or L'Intemporel, three bedrooms each.

Yes. The Junior Suite, on the ground floor of the bastide, opens onto its own terrace: it's their room. Some apartments have stairs, so we plan who sleeps where with you, and the cars park right at the estate.

Up to 32, dinner moves to the long table in the Villa Bastide kitchen, and the dancing to the dining room, as every evening after 11 pm. For a bigger party, we set the plan with the house at your visit, a tent in the garden for instance, so your evening keeps its shape.

Yes, Le Galinier is 600 metres from the centre of Lourmarin. The château is 5 to 10 minutes on foot, the cafés on the square just beyond, and the Friday morning market is two minutes away for those who arrive early.

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English. The house team at Le Galinier speaks English too.
