Magnificent place

Magnificent place which delighted us and our guests. A huge park to take magnificent photos. A very large room with charm for dinner, a large room for dancing. We were able to accommodate a large number of our guests and take a quick dip in the pool on Sunday. Perfect.

Fantastic place

Superb castle with its magnificent rooms. Possibility of accommodating many people with its different lodgings. Several options for the wedding, whatever the weather. A place steeped in history. A room with its frame 8m from the ground decorated with a magnificent heart, the carpenter's signature, gives a majestic effect. Warm owner who allowed us to have a magnificent wedding.

Book with your eyes closed, everything was perfect!

What can we say about Craon Castle? Not a single one of our guests found a fault with this magnificent piece. The castle is in the center of the city which allows you to go shopping on foot (or in a supermarket in 5 minutes by car). There are exceptional service providers nearby if you want to go local. The owner of the place is very available to answer your questions and is very kind. The flexibility of the locations: outside / inside: everything is possible depending on the weather...

An amazing venue with great B options in case it rains. The many spaces mean that you don't have to put away all the tables to be able to dance. The owner was very flexible regarding our arrival time. Everything was perfect ! We highly recommend this location for an authentic and elegant wedding. Don't hesitate for a second!

We highly recommend Craon Castle!

“We are delighted with our wedding weekend. The park, the rooms of the castle and the gîtes are very beautiful and pleasant. We were able to accommodate the majority of our guests who were also delighted. The owners are very welcoming, flexible and attentive. The spaces offered allow you to organize cocktails and brunch whatever the weather. We were thus able to easily adapt our choice for the cocktail venue on the big day with the help and advice of the owner.
