About This Venue
Templar origins and twelve celebration spaces near Avignon
A private Provencal estate minutes from Avignon offering full exclusivity for up to 250 guests, with 23 bedrooms sleeping 49 across six restored buildings. Twelve distinct celebration spaces range from a grand 220 sqm reception hall to vine-draped terraces, a courtyard beneath a centuries-old plane tree, and a pine-shaded poolside lawn. Two heated swimming pools, no curfew, and direct TGV access from Paris in under three hours make it one of the most versatile destination wedding venues in southern France.
The Venue History
17th century · Traditional Provencal
Built in the 17th century, Chateau La Tour Vaucros takes its name from the landmark tower that once watched over the Comtat Venaissin, the territory governed by the Avignon papacy for five centuries. The estate's six stone buildings, including a former chapel, preserve original features such as Provencal tiles, a bread oven, spiral staircases, and a fireplace. Each building has been carefully restored to maintain the character of the period while accommodating modern comforts.
