About Domaine de la Fauconnie
Domaine de la Fauconnie stands apart as a working estate spanning 12 hectares in the Dordogne, where historic stone buildings and vineyards create an authentic French countryside backdrop without the staged artifice of purpose-built venues.
Rather than imported grandeur, this property offers the genuine character of a family-owned domain with roots in the region's agricultural heritage.
Ceremonies unfold against rolling fields and restored medieval structures, while receptions utilize both manicured gardens and the estate's original outbuildings.

Excellent venue for a wedding. Nice grounds and a big air conditioned reception room. Toilets for guests could do with upgrading.
