01 · In a sentence

Château de la Bourdaisière in Montlouis-sur-Loire.

Château de la Bourdaisière offers the practical advantage of an on-site hotel, eliminating logistics headaches for destination weddings in the Loire Valley.

This 16th-century château provides both ceremony and reception spaces with guest accommodations within the same property, streamlining coordination across multiple days.

The estate spans 12 hectares of manicured grounds and vineyards along the Loire River.

Absolute stunner! The chateau is absolute luxury and everything you expect when looking for a castle experience. The property is next level - the gardens are superb, the dahlias are so beautiful and the upkeep on the whole place is top notch. The staff are wonderful - we had wonderful interactions with so many staff, especially Philipe! Everyone was so gracious and ready for a laugh, it made us feel at home. Food options are good (a lot of fresh produce), and Montlouis area is stunning to walk around. This is an incredible experience all round, highly recommend for anyone looking for a castle stay in France - especially because it is close to Patis by train or car.
