Château de Voltaire

A place steeped in history for an exceptional wedding

Nestled between the Alps and the Jura Mountains, near the Swiss border, the Château de Voltaire invites you to celebrate your wedding in a unique setting. The former residence of the Enlightenment philosopher, this historic monument combines elegance and old-world charm with spectacular views of Mont Blanc. Its 7-hectare park and refined spaces offer the perfect ambiance for creating unforgettable memories.

The Orangery: a bright and adaptable space for your reception

At the heart of the estate, the Orangerie is the main hall for your reception. Thanks to its large bay windows, it is bathed in natural light and opens directly onto the garden. It can accommodate up to 100 people for a cocktail reception and 90 seated guests for an elegant dinner. A second room, located in the basement and of the same size, is dedicated to the festive and dancing portion of the event, allowing you to create distinct atmospheres throughout the day.

Enchanting gardens for your ceremony and cocktail

The 7-hectare park surrounding the château offers several options for your outdoor moments. The formal French garden with its pond, as well as the cedar garden, can each accommodate up to 300 guests for a secular ceremony or cocktail reception. The hornbeam avenue, a place that inspired Voltaire, adds a romantic and historical touch, perfect for your wedding photos.
