- AAnaïs & David14/05/2025Nothing to say.Nothing to say.A stunning setting, with the option to choose different rooms, full privatization of the estate, and the possibility of having the cocktail reception around the fountain. The team is welcoming, incredibly available at all times, and the guesthouse is comfortable and just 100 meters from the reception venue. They provided great advice for organizing the room! I highly recommend it a thousand times!A stunning setting, with the option to choose different rooms, full privatization of the estate, and the possibility of having the cocktail reception around the fountain.

- HHugo14/05/2025A splendid wedding!A splendid wedding!Despite COVID, we were able to organize a beautiful wedding during the weekend of August 29, 2020. The facilities are very beautiful and flexible (multiple rooms + outdoor areas). The château team was extremely available and showed great flexibility during this COVID period. Our guests loved it. The rental is relatively expensive, but it is definitely worth it as many things are included (furniture, etc.). Additionally, the location is very easy to access from Bordeaux's train station.Despite COVID, we were able to organize a beautiful wedding during the weekend of August 29, 2020.
