I've recently been asked by a few of my clients if I knew of any special venues in the South of France. I have 2 delightful ones to recommend; the first in the Cannes area, the second in Provence.
Chateau Dieter is a magnificent Renaissance property situated in the heart of the French Riviera, with a real Tuscan feel. The castle is located in the most picturesque setting, amongst an olive grove and gardens. I went to this venue last summer for a friend's wedding. The ceremony took place in the gardens, the bride walking down a beautiful colonnade, followed by a stunning reception on the terrace. We dined under the stars and moved into the Chateau to party until the early hours. A truly magical evening.
Chateau Grimaldi is located in Provence on a hill overlooking the village of Puyricard (10 minutes by car to Aix-en-Provence and 30 minutes to Marseille airport). The Chateau has a fantastic set up: 5 hectares of delightful gardens, fountains, sculptures, a tennis court and swimming pool. Ruins of the 17th century castle surround the pool, making a spectacular setting for my friend's wedding this summer. The ceremony took place overlooking the hills, followed by a reception by the pool with local culinary delights. We dined on the candlelit terrace of the house and danced the night away in the stunning old chapel. A truly memorable evening.
