01 · In a sentence

Château des 3 Fontaines in Pernes-les-Fontaines.

Château des 3 Fontaines rises from the Provençal landscape near Pernes-les-Fontaines, offering sweeping views across the Vaucluse valley and access to 3 natural fountains on the 12-hectare grounds.

The 17th-century estate combines manicured gardens with Mediterranean terraces, positioned at 210 meters elevation for dramatic light and vistas.

Stone architecture and period details provide authentic French countryside backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

The Castle of the 3 Fountains was beyond anything we could have imagined. We stayed for the entire weekend, and every moment felt like pure magic. The grounds are enchanting, with timeless architecture and gardens that made us feel as though we were living inside a fairytale. Our ceremony beneath the split-trunk tree was unforgettable, and the reception spaces were equally breathtaking. What made it even more special was the way the staff cared for us and our guests with such warmth and attention to detail. It wasn’t just a venue—it became the heart of our celebration, a place where memories we’ll treasure forever were made. To have our wedding weekend there was truly a dream come true.
