Château de Sept-Saulx lies 25 minutes from Reims in the Champagne-Ardenne region of northern France. Built between 1928 and 1930 by architect Louis Süe for Édouard Mignot, founder of Comptoirs Français, this rare architectural treasure is an exceptional wedding venue in Champagne.
One of the few Art Deco castles in France, it is surrounded by 30 hectares of landscaped parkland designed by Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, renowned for the Bagatelle gardens in Paris.

The landscaped French gardens, vast terrace, and parklands provide a striking outdoor setting for ceremonies and receptions. The château has hosted prestigious events including the finale of M6’s Le Meilleur Boulanger de France and is listed as a 20th-century historic monument.
