Castle of Saint Martin in Taradeau, open June–September.
Castle of Saint Martin stands apart as one of Provence's few working château hotels that functions as a full-service wedding venue, offering both ceremony grounds and 40 guest rooms on the property.
Located in the Var region near the Maures Massif, this 12th-century castle provides an authentic period setting without requiring guests to travel between ceremony, reception, and accommodations.
The combination of medieval architecture with modern hospitality infrastructure makes multi-day celebrations seamless.
We joined the Self Experience wine tour and had a wine tasting with Angelique. She was really funny and professional. We had the chance to taste six different types of wine and, in conclusion, two liqueurs. We highly recommend visiting them for an authentic experience
