Imagine a luxury boutique private residence nestled between the Languedoc’s Picpoul vineyards and the Thau Lagoon—a serene Mediterranean haven where every detail celebrates la vie en France. From mouthwatering cuisine and lagoon views to lush surroundings and sumptuous, character-filled rooms, Domaine de Tarbouriech is a seaside wedding venue near Montpellier that will capture your heart.
But calling Domaine de Tarbouriech a luxury residence wouldn’t do it quite justice. It’s more than that—it’s a family-run estate and a true love story between people and the sea. Owned by the Tarbouriech family, renowned oyster farmers, the domaine includes a former 18th-century Mansion and its wine storehouse, a 25-metre swimming pool, a biodynamic vegetable garden and a restaurant.
On the Friday evening, kick off the festivities with a unique arrival of the bride and groom on a traditional oyster-farming barge at one of the two pontoons. Then let the evening unfold with music and delicious shellfish tasting.
On your wedding day, choose from countless enchanting spots for your ceremony—the garden’s hidden corners or the wooden terrace with sweeping views of the lagoon and oyster beds. For the wedding dinner, enjoy a bistronomic feast bursting with Mediterranean flavours. After the meal, let loose and dance the night away until 3am.
The next day, bring your loved ones together for a poolside brunch featuring some of the Tarbouriech family’s specialties whilst relaxing under the warm sun of the South of France.
During your stay, you’ll also be able to experience the unique Ostreatherapy® Spa, which harnesses the natural benefits of oysters for an incredible pampering experience.
Accommodation wise, the domaine offers 16 beautifully designed suites and lodges, each a visual delight—dreamy, luxurious, and full of character.
Green Credentials: The estate is deeply committed to sustainability, rooted in their heritage as oyster farmers in the Thau Lagoon. Their breeding method is 100% ecological. Their ‘Solar Tide’ (developed in 2006), uses the sun and wind to produce energy for lifting the ropes out of the water. Embracing a circular economy, the domaine’s chef sources produce from their biodynamic vegetable garden and fresh eggs from their hen house. Oyster shells are recycled, giving rise to their Ostréalia cosmetics line, which concentrates the benefits of mother-of-pearl and active marine ingredients.
