Here, the wedding lasts more than just an evening. It unfolds over an entire weekend in the enchanting and poetic setting of a historic estate nestled in nature. You will experience precious moments surrounded by your loved ones and can extend the magic of this unforgettable occasion.
The Domaine des Forges de la Vache is located in the Nièvre region of Burgundy, easily accessible, just minutes from a motorway exit and the La Charité-sur-Loire train station. In this verdant setting, crossed by a stream and bordered by centuries-old trees, you can enjoy a heated swimming pool, a Scandinavian bath with a jacuzzi, and a sauna. The magnificent 4-hectare park holds many surprises, such as a period greenhouse, former stables, and even an authentic 18th-century blast furnace.
The Domaine can accommodate up to 50 adults in 6 carefully renovated houses. The 19 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms (including a bridal suite) offer exceptional comfort and will allow you to host your loved ones in perfect conditions.
If you wish to accommodate more guests, we work with partner guesthouses near the Domaine.
For receptions, our two charming rooms can accommodate up to 50 (90m²) and 110 people (200m²) seated.
The Domaine team is at your disposal to assist you in organizing your wedding. They can connect you with several high-quality vendors, but do not impose any particular ones. You are free to choose your own vendors.
Domaine des Forges de la Vache opens its doors to you to write a unique chapter in your story, in an enchanting interlude filled with shared emotions, surrounded by those you cherish, for a weekend suspended in time. A place to celebrate love, pure and simple.

Multi-day weddings, in a chic and rustic atmosphere, with a truly friendly vibe thanks to on-site accommodations.
Our couples often fall under the charm of the park crossed by a stream and the unique atmosphere of the estate. Between preserved nature, historic buildings full of character, and a wellness area, the place invites you to slow down and fully enjoy every moment.
We advise couples to think of their wedding as a multi-day experience rather than just a single day. The venue has been designed to welcome your loved ones in the best possible conditions and allow everyone to fully enjoy this unique moment, without rushing.
The Domaine des Forges de la Vache combines the charm of a historic estate with the serenity of untouched nature. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a genuine wedding surrounded by your loved ones.
Beyond the facilities, our biggest asset is the ability to completely privatize the estate and host your loved ones there for an entire weekend. That feeling of having a place all to yourself creates a unique atmosphere that couples and their guests don’t forget.
From spring to autumn, the estate shows off all its beauty: centuries-old trees, a lush park, outdoor ceremonies, and evenings under the stars. Each season, however, has a different vibe, allowing every couple to find the setting that suits them.
A wedding often goes by very quickly. By booking the venue exclusively for several days, you can really enjoy your loved ones, share more moments together, and create memories that go far beyond just the reception.
Our guests often feel like they're spending a weekend in a large family house in the countryside. They enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the place, the beauty of the park, and the pleasure of being able to take their time.
