Getting Married in Provence

A Stunning Venue Under the Provençal Sun

Chateau du Bijou set the stage for a truly spectacular wedding in the heart of Provence. Nestled in a picturesque location, this venue boasts clear blue skies and a warm atmosphere. It perfectly captures the essence of getting married in Provence with its charming architecture and welcoming vibe. The couple personalised the Chateau, transforming it into their home for the day and welcoming friends and family from around the world.

Understanding French Wedding Formalities

Planning a wedding in France comes with unique challenges, especially regarding legal requirements for non-residents. Couples often choose to marry legally in their home country to avoid the 40-day residency requirement in France, along with other bureaucratic hurdles. This approach allows them to enjoy a more personal and meaningful ceremony in France, surrounded by loved ones. At this wedding, a close relative led the ceremony, enhancing the intimate and joyful atmosphere.

A Leisurely French Dinner and Endless Dancing

The dinner embraced a classic French style with long tables where guests enjoyed wine and conversation into the night. Getting married in Provence means relishing the relaxed pace—there’s no rush, only enjoyment of the moment.
