Manoir de Longeveau is set in a "Place of Special Beauty" on the border of Charente and Dordogne, close to the famed village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, known for its subterranean church and river beach. Originally a 17th-century estate, the manoir has been transformed into a private wedding village with 35 stone cottages and villas accommodating over 190 guests. Ceremonies can take place in various unique spots including under a centuries-old walnut tree, at the base of the Pigeonnier tower, or beside the fairways of the estate’s 9-hole golf course.
The venue offers complete exclusivity for several days, turning weddings into immersive, extended celebrations. With professional planning support and tailored styling options, the estate provides the setting and the support for a wedding holiday experience where family and friends stay on site, enjoy regional food and drink, and participate in a wide range of curated celebrations and outdoor activities.
The estate houses over 190 guests across 36 fully restored stone cottages and apartments, with properties sleeping between 2 and 8 people. Each offers self-catering facilities, and many include private gardens or pools. Rooms are en-suite with high-standard finishes, and the bridal suite spans the top floor of the manor, overlooking the traditional French courtyard and event spaces. L’Appartement is the preferred choice for couples due to its spacious interior and central yet private location. Every accommodation is designed for comfort while preserving the estate’s rustic charm, with guests housed within a village setting that keeps loved ones close throughout the celebrations.
