South West France
Chateau Gassies
Latresne, on the edge of Bordeaux, Gironde
An 18th-century estate overlooking Bordeaux offering exclusive-use weddings minutes from the city.
Sitting on a wooded ridge in Latresne, ten minutes from Bordeaux Saint-Jean station and 22 minutes from Merignac airport, Chateau Gassies pairs the convenience of a city-edge venue with 14 hectares of private parkland looking out over the Garonne. The estate runs in English alongside French and is widely used by UK, US and Irish couples who want a Bordeaux destination wedding without long onward transfers.
Ceremonies are usually staged beneath the centuries-old oaks or in the covered courtyard, with the 190 m² reception room seating up to 150 beneath original beams and crystal chandeliers. Six suites and three guesthouses sleep up to 43 on site, and the heated infinity pool, tennis court, gym, steam room and sauna make a full long-weekend stay practical.
