Villa La Coste in Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, open June – September.
The hotel at Château La Coste, a 600-acre organic vineyard 15 km north of Aix-en-Provence that doubles as one of Europe’s serious sculpture parks.
Buildings by Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel and Oscar Niemeyer sit in the vines alongside work by Louise Bourgeois, Richard Serra and Ai Weiwei, and a wedding here gets the run of them.
Villa La Coste itself is 28 suites, each with a terrace and most with a private pool, plus a Michelin-starred restaurant and a spa.
The estate has indoor rooms from 20 to 250 square metres and outdoor ground that can take far larger numbers, so the format is genuinely open: a dinner for 30 in the Ando pavilion, or a party in the vines.

Asked along the way.
How many guests can Château La Coste take for a wedding?+
The estate lists indoor venues from 20 to 250 square metres and outdoor spaces that can hold far more, so the number depends entirely on format. For a seated dinner in one of the pavilions, plan for 100 to 200 and confirm the exact room with the events team.
Is the art still open to the public during a wedding?+
Usually yes. Château La Coste runs a paid art and architecture walk every day and it is the estate’s main business, so a wedding does not close it by default. Agree in writing which areas are private on your date and at what hours.
Where do wedding guests stay?+
Villa La Coste has 28 suites on the estate, which covers a small party. Everyone else stays in Aix-en-Provence, about 25 minutes by car, which has the widest choice of hotels within reach and is worth booking as a block.
What does a wedding at Château La Coste cost?+
The estate quotes privately. Suite rates at Villa La Coste run at the top of the Provence market, and 2026 reporting put Provence venue hire generally at €15,000 to €80,000 before catering. Use those as ranges to test a quote against, not as a price.
Which airport do guests fly into?+
Marseille Provence (MRS) is about 40 minutes by car and has the widest international schedule in the region. Aix-en-Provence TGV station is 30 minutes away and reaches Paris in three hours, which is often the easier route for European guests.
