About Château de la Treyne
A 14th-century castle rebuilt under Louis XIII after the Wars of Religion, standing on a cliff directly above the Dordogne on a 120-hectare private estate between Souillac and Rocamadour.
Dinner is served either in the Grand Salon Louis XIII or on the terrace, where the drop to the river is immediate and the far bank is forest.
There is a Romanesque chapel beside the château and formal French gardens behind it.
Eighteen rooms and apartments sleep about 40, which is the real shape of a wedding here: the estate quotes cocktails or a seated dinner for up to 70, extending to 150 with structures brought in, but the property was built for a smaller party staying several days.

Questions about the venue
How many guests can Château de la Treyne host?+
The estate quotes cocktails or a seated dinner for up to 70 guests, and can extend to 150 with structures brought into the gardens. Accommodation is the tighter constraint: 18 rooms and apartments sleep about 40 people on site.
Where do dinner and the ceremony happen?+
Dinner goes in the Grand Salon Louis XIII or on the terrace above the Dordogne, which is the reason to come. The Romanesque chapel beside the château takes a small religious or symbolic ceremony; the legal one happens at a mairie.
Can the whole château be taken exclusively?+
Yes, and at 18 rooms it is a natural buyout for a wedding party of around 40 staying two or three nights. Larger guest lists stay in Souillac or in gîtes along the valley and come in for the day.
What does a wedding at La Treyne cost?+
The château quotes by proposal. This corner of southwest France is materially cheaper than Provence or the Riviera at the same Relais & Châteaux standard. Everything on this page is estimated from the property tier, not quoted.
Which airport should guests use?+
Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne (BVE) is about an hour away but has a thin schedule. Most international guests fly into Toulouse or Bordeaux, both roughly two and a half hours by car, or take the train to Souillac, 15 minutes away.
