In South West France, not far from Bordeaux, Chateau de Fondat is the turreted fairytale chateau you’ve been dreaming of!
Steeped in history and charm, this estate —listed as a historical monument—has ties to both notable historical and literary figures. It’s a place where stories linger in the air and whose beauty will capture your heart.
An Enchanting Setting for Your Celebration
On your big day, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to ceremony spots. The 4-hectare parkland is utterly romantic. Among its many delights: a magical water mirror reflecting the chateau, an avenue lined with ancient magnolias, and the rare Zelkova trees of Fondat—a true botanical gem and a Chateau Bee favourite!
Imagine your cocktail hour on the central lawn, jazz music floating through the air as the chateau forms a stunning backdrop.
For dinner, you may choose to dine al fresco or in the superb Salle des Lumières (sitting 120 pax), featuring dazzling stained glass, exposed beams, and wooden floors.
When it’s time for the ball, head to the aptly named Salle de Bal, where you’ll be able to party until 4 a.m.
Accommodation at this Fairytale Chateau
The estate sleeps up to 20 guests: 14 in the chateau itself and 6 in the charming hunting lodge. Each room, like the rest of the interiors, is beautifully appointed—filled with character and a regal elegance that reflects the chateau’s rich heritage.
