Château Barayre

Our venue & Services

The 12th century castle, its impressive 17th-century barn and romantic Roman church are surrounded by a large garden with majestic trees. Renovated with an eye for detail and history, overlooking your own green valley, our château makes the perfect setting for intimate celebrations. In and around the castle, beautiful spaces abound. We have a fantastic place for every part of your program!

Our in-house catering and wedding planning offer great flexibility to tailor to your wishes — from in-house solutions to working with a vendor from our network of local, high-quality suppliers. Our deep knowledge/experience make that we can quickly and smoothly improvise when needed and give every guest the attention they need. 

Personal & Present

We are a small personal venue. That’s why we do only a limited number of weddings per season. We’ll plan the wedding together and accompany you during your day and stay and sometimes even as bartender or chef! Supported by a wonderful team of multitalents - both inhouse as well as external - that love what they are doing and love doing that together :) 

Our hands-on presence is often what couples say puts them most at ease. We know the venue, the couple and their ideas, the vendors — no wondering who to call, no loose ends. We work out a detailed program, but like to go with the flow during the wedding day. Everybody knows what to do, without anyone feeling rushed. So all guests can be themselves in a warmly familial atmosphere. In our beloved little castle. Your home for your wedding. (Read our reviews)
