A 17th-century estate surrounded by lavender

Dress code
We'd love for the evening to feel as beautiful as it looks. A floor-length gown or a tailored suit would be perfect — think soft colours, elegant fabrics, and anything you feel truly wonderful in.
Please avoid white and ivory, which we're saving for the bride.

We've tried to think of every question you might have. If something's missing, just ask.
The closest airport is Aix-en-Provence TGV, about 20 minutes from the venue. We'll have a complimentary shuttle running from the station throughout the afternoon — the schedule will be in your confirmation email. If you're driving, parking is available on site.
We've reserved a block of rooms at Hôtel du Palais, just 10 minutes from the château. Mention our names when booking to get the rate we've arranged. A handful of rooms are on us — reach out early if you'd like one. We're also happy to suggest a few alternatives at different price points.
Your presence at our wedding is more than enough. If you'd like to give something, a contribution to our honeymoon fund would mean a great deal — details are in your invitation. We'd much rather you spend the money on a great outfit and a taxi home.
Our guest list is intimate by design, so we've been thoughtful about numbers. Your invitation will indicate whether a plus one is included. If you have any questions, please reach out directly — we'll do our best.
