Its large courtyard, raised pool and small vaulted basement make it a perfect chateau venue for elegant small and intimate weddings as well as those for up to 100 guests, in the Dordogne.

What we love


We have worked in exclusive partnership with the Aristocratic Chateau as a wedding venue in the Dordogne, for several years and couples and their guests never cease to be wowed by their first sighting of the chateau sitting high above them on the approach road. We really love the elegance of both the interior and exterior and the pool that sits way above the chateau.

If you are looking for original period charm and elegant architecture as the backdrop to your wedding then look no further.
