- CCécile03/02/2026An exceptional siteAn exceptional siteA truly beautiful venue that's perfect on its own for creating a magical weekend! A touch of decoration enhances the fort. I recommend using the moat; it's ideal for the cocktail reception or a secular ceremony! The venue is well-equipped (high tables, a tent, stages, four small refrigerators, one large refrigerator, a small kitchen with a dishwasher, children's chairs and tables, and large round tables (seating 10 and 8) for the reception hall). Annelise is very attentive and professional.A truly beautiful venue that's perfect on its own for creating a magical weekend! A touch of decoration enhances the fort.
