Tucked away in the countryside of the Loire Valley, Chateau Petit Bijou is the kind of place that captures your imagination at the very first glance – a historic estate combining French elegance, intimacy, and modern comfort. This former abbey turned family château now opens its doors to couples seeking a celebration that feels at once grand and deeply personal.
Luxury Wedding Venue in the Loire Valley
A wedding at Chateau Petit Bijou unfolds like a perfect French movie. Exchange vows beneath the vaulted ceiling of the consecrated chapel or under the romantic archway of the old abbey ruins. Cocktails flow on the sun-drenched terrace as guests take in sweeping views of 38 acres of private parkland, before dining under the stars by the river or inside a beautifully styled reception marquee.
And when the sun rises the next day, a relaxed brunch, a tennis match, or a stroll through the gardens completes the weekend in true French style.
On-site accommodation
The château sleeps up to 15 guests in eight elegant bedrooms where period charm meets modern comfort – think antique woodwork, marble bathrooms, and bucolic views of the estate. For larger weddings, additional guests can stay nearby in partner châteaux and boutique hotels, ensuring everyone is accommodated either on site or close by.
