Description

Château de Craon is a magnificent 18th-century château inspired by Marie Antoinette's Trianon. This historic site is in a class of its own, a veritable fairytale castle. Known as the “Little Versailles” of the Mayenne region, nestled in a 47-hectare green setting, it's an idyllic place to celebrate your wedding.

Spaces and capacities

All areas are available for you to use on your wedding day.

Cocktails can be held in front of the château or, if the weather is too hot, in the shade of the linden trees in the formal garden. And if, unfortunately, the weather is temperamental or a little chilly (in mid-season or winter), you can welcome your guests in the prestigious château salons.

For a more chic, country feel, two large, sheltered areas opposite the stables are also available for cocktails, wedding ceremonies, brunches...

In the château's large stables, sit-down dinners for up to 300 guests in 2 connecting rooms. Exposed beams and stonework, cathedral ceilings, 18th-century framework.

No time limit.

Free choice of caterer.

Accommodation: over 55 people can be accommodated on site at Château de Craon in the chambres d'hôtes and 4 gîtes. Other accommodation in the town of Craon is also within walking distance of the château, including a small hotel just across the road.

Mr. de Guébriant responded quickly and accurately to our requests. He was able to adapt perfectly while advising us thanks to his experience. The location, in addition to being magnificent, is extremely convenient. All the rooms in the castle as well as the cottages were booked, and the guests were won over by the beauty of the place and the very convenient location!! (A little extra for the delicious breakfast!) Mr. de Guébriant responded quickly and accurately to our requests. He was able to adapt perfectly while advising us thanks to his experience.

Fantastic place 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.Superb castle with its magnificent rooms. Possibility of accommodating many people with its different lodgings.

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...What can we say about 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.“We are delighted with our wedding weekend.
