Demeure du Siecle – Aquitaine

Our final stop takes us to the Aquitaine department of France and to a much more intimate venue and technically not a Chateau however the Demure du Siecle is a lovely large villa of 200m2, offering you the possibility to accommodate 8 people with its 4 spacious rooms which have been meticulously decorated. This includes a bridal chamber exclusively for the married couple. As this is a more intimate venue than those above this is perfect for those of you planning an intimate wedding day. You can also opt for an outdoor affair in the semi-covered terrace around the fountain or you can use the space in front of the villa to install a marquee that can accommodate around 60 guests.
