South West France
Chateau la Durantie
Lanouaille, Dordogne
A 19th-century chateau in the Dordogne countryside offering exclusive hire for English-speaking weddings.
Built in 1840 for the Duke of Isly, Chateau la Durantie sits in 12 acres of mature parkland in northern Dordogne, with a heated pool, tennis court and walled lawns lending themselves to long, slow celebrations. The hosts work regularly with English and Irish couples and the website, menus and enquiry correspondence are all in English, which makes planning at distance considerably less stressful.
Ceremonies typically take place in the gardens or at a local church, with a cocktail reception on the chateau terrace and the wedding meal staged under a marquee on the lawn. Bergerac airport is around ninety minutes away and Limoges roughly an hour, so guests flying from the UK have several practical routings.
