I thank the team for their professionalism and responsiveness, both in terms of catering and hospitality. All the guests were delighted with the meal. The Auberge's location, although in town, allows for music to continue very late without disturbing anyone. The Auberge works with a DJ who knows the venue very well and facilitates coordination between the service and the entertainment. [...] Thank you!I held my wedding reception at the Auberge.

The guests and ourselves were won over from the beginning to the end of the meal. The setting is truly magnificent. Thank you for the efforts also, from the reception day. Thank you also to our waiter and maitre d'hôtel Jean Claude and Romain for the welcome and the exceptional service. We could not have dreamed of better for this big day. We will come back with pleasure (and it is already a done deal for monsieur) to celebrate our cotton wedding anniversary.We chose the Auberge du Forgeron for our wedding reception.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
For me, the most beautiful tables I have seen are those with very large martini glasses with a floral arrangement that goes down. Cala, does not prevent guests from seeing each other at the table. On the other hand, our place already has a lot of charm, no need to bring too much decoration.
