Domaine de la Fauconnie is a romantic, fairytale wedding venue nestled in the heart of the Dordogne, France. We visited on a nice, mild day at the end of the Summer and fell in love with it! With its classic Périgord architecture, pretty blue shutters, expansive grounds and surrounding woodland, it embodies the very best of French country charm.
A romantic Dordogne wedding venue
Blending the elegance of an 18th-century manor house with all the comforts of modern living, Domaine de la Fauconnie, only 15 minutes from Bergerac, instantly feels like a home away from home.
On your big day, make a grand entrance down the striking outdoor staircase, framed by the cypress trees – it’s the kind of fairytale, princess moment dreams are made of.
Then exchange vows in the enchanting park or beneath the Rotonde—a charming, timber-beamed rotunda that offers both shade and style.
For your wedding meal, opt for a magical alfresco dinner or a grand celebration in the stunning Orangery, inspired by the architecture of Eiffel and accommodating up to 200 guests.
The following day, unwind with a leisurely brunch by the saltwater pool.
On-site accommodation and wedding planning support
The estate can accommodate up to 44 people in beautifully renovated spaces: the manor house (with 9 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms), the Annexe with its 2 bedrooms + 1 sofa bed and 2 shower rooms, and la Metairie with its 5 bedrooms and 5 private shower rooms and an apartment for 8 people, the latter two being equipped with air conditioning. Each space has been carefully renovated to preserve its original character while offering modern amenities.
Last but not least, the lovely owner Tanja who speaks fluent French, English and German will be there to guide you—sharing trusted supplier recommendations and ensuring everything runs smoothly with the suppliers on your special day.
