About the Venue

Château du Pont Bourguet, built in 1850 in the Empire style, sits in the hamlet of Pont Bourguet within Larroque in southern France. Just below the medieval hilltop village of Puycelsi in Occitanie, it enjoys a peaceful position on the banks of the Vère River. This wedding chateau near Toulouse pairs rolling countryside with 19th-century architectural character, creating an elegant backdrop for weddings and private stays.

Though it suffered a fire during restoration in 2003, the château has since been carefully revived and now serves as both a private residence and boutique event venue. Today, couples can exchange vows against the château’s façade, celebrate under the stars, or host receptions in its chandelier-lit barn and courtyard. With limited annual availability, Château du Pont Bourguet offers privacy, authenticity, and a distinctive French country experience.
