From the moment we discovered Chateau des Girards, we knew we had found something truly special in the heart of the French Alps. Nestled in a lush green setting yet effortlessly accessible from major cities such as Lyon, Grenoble, or Geneva, this exceptional estate offers the kind of destination-wedding magic that feels genuinely rare – a destination wedding venue for mountain lovers, full of soul and character.
Mountain Wedding Venue in the French Alps
We’ve known Céline and Dimitri for some time, always admiring their remarkable renovation work at places like Chateau de Garde and Chateau du Pujolet. After five years of restoration, Dimitri has once again created a masterpiece with Château des Girards.
Picture yourself exchanging vows in the park, framed by sweeping alpine views of Vercors; enjoying cocktails on the terrace beneath crystal-blue skies; and dining in the dazzling wedding hall. With its oak flooring, the reception hall can host up to 100 guests in style.
The day after your celebration, imagine a relaxed BBQ on site followed by a refreshing dip in the gorgeous indoor pool.
Accommodation for up to 42 guests
The estate sleeps 42 guests across its beautifully renovated spaces: 20 in the main 450 m² château, 8 in the Apartment, and 14 in the Annex, a converted outbuilding with charming alcoves. Every room carries its own signature and wow factor, from limestone walls and marquetry details to lavish fabrics, all reimagined with a contemporary twist.
The dedicated team at the château will be by your side to help plan your perfect wedding, while the catering is overseen by chef Nicolas Medavit, whose worldly influences bring a refined and versatile touch to your celebrations.
To sum up, we selected Chateau des Girards because it perfectly blends sophisticated design, mountain serenity and genuine hospitality – making it a perfect venue for a wedding in South East France.
