Flexible rental formulas and prices

Each castle is unique and therefore offers its own services and prices.

Once this list has been established, contact all of the selected castles to request a quote.

You will then discover that some castles offer different formulas and prices depending on the spaces you wish to reserve.

A good way to reduce the cost of your stay is to book only part of the reception rooms or accommodation in the castle if this option is available to you.

You can also opt for a short stay of a single day or night to lower the price.

Rental prices vary from region to region

Finding the castle of your dreams that respects your budget can be more or less complicated depending on the region of France in which you are going to say yes to yourself.

Some regions are on the rise and attract brides and grooms from all over the world. The French Riviera is the perfect example of a region very popular for weddings.
