Between Bordeaux and Toulouse, the romantic Chateau du Cèdre has the air of a classic Italian chateau. We are particularly fond of its picture perfect courtyard, beautifully lined with cypress trees and its impressive 19m² turquoise pool underscoring the view of this wedding venue.
AS MENTIONED IN VOGUE
Besides the appeal of its Renaissance architecture, we love this chateau for it provides couples with a fantastic in-house wedding planning service. Plus it is located on a verdant valley, which allows for glorious views.
The ceremony could take place on the East side of the chateau. There, two towers frame a wisteria clad façade. With its central pediment and classical balustrade it makes a perfect backdrop for your blessing.
During the cocktail hour, let your guests take a stroll into the mature parkland with cedars, lines of poplars and centenarian oaks.
Afterward, have your wedding meal outdoors beneath twinkling fairy lights, followed by dancing on the stunning outdoor dance floor.
On the day after gather your wedding guests again for a scrumptious BBQ with local treats. Then while away the afternoon around the swimming pool. There is also on site an all-weather tennis court that sits beside an orchard and a beautiful flower meadow with wild orchids.
Finally foodies will appreciate the fact that Chateau du Cèdre has its own in house chef whose mission is to offer you and your guests an unforgettable French feast! The in-house chef, as well as the in house wedding planners, have planned over 300 weddings in the last 14 years, so with such an enthusiastic team by your side you are sure to get the wedding of your dreams!
The domaine can sleep up to 26 people on site. The Chateau itself can sleep up to 14 guests in 7 light and airy rooms and the chateau guests will be welcome to use the well equipped kitchen during their stay. The Cottage has two bedrooms and the Pigeonnier has 4 bedrooms. These two self-contained, well appointed properties have a separate drive.
Things to do in the area: chateau du Cèdre is located near the oldest of the bastide towns of Lot-et-Garonne, so don’t miss having a look at it! Nearby, go and explore Auvillar which is officially classified as one of the ’most beautiful villages of France’. The larger town of Agen is only 20 minutes away. Agen, renowned for its rugby and its prunes, has a rich architectural heritage and you’ll find there plenty of shops, restaurants and some museums too.
