We're spending a whole weekend together in the countryside between Provence, the Ardèche, and the Gard, and we'd love nothing more than to share it with you. Just our favourite people, good food, a pool, and the South of France doing its thing.
We'll be a colorful mix of cultures and we can't wait to bring everyone together. If you can, extend your stay. The region is beautiful.
The Weekend
The program in broad strokes. Final timings to follow.
Friday · 4 June
Arrival
Settle into your accommodation, find your friends, ease into the weekend. All the accommodations are only a 4–6 minute drive from the Domaine. In the evening we meet for an apéro on the village square just around the corner: a relaxed start with a glass of wine, something to eat, and everyone who has already arrived. Come and go as you like, we will let you know the exact time in good time.
Saturday · 5 June
The Big Day
The morning starts gently: croissants and coffee come to you at your accommodation. Around 15:00 we meet at the Domaine for the wedding ceremony, dinner, and a party that we intend to keep going for a while.
Sunday · 6 June
Brunch & Pool Party
A slow morning into a long afternoon: brunch and a pool party at the Domaine, all day until 17:00. Bring swimwear!

From any station, plan to rent a car for the final leg, or tell us in your RSVP, as we may be able to arrange pick-ups.
🚗 By car
From Marseille ~1 h 45, from La Ciotat ~2 h. The route follows the A7 motorway, then scenic country roads into the Gard. Parking is available at the venue and at all accommodations.
Good to know
- You need a car. The venue is out in the countryside and cannot be reached by public transport.
- Share a rental. If you're landing around the same time as others, splitting a car is cheaper and more eco-friendly. Tell us in your RSVP if you need a seat or have seats to spare, and we'll connect people once RSVPs are in.
- Local friends have free seats and we'll help coordinate.
- Airport pick-ups can be arranged depending on need. Mention it in your RSVP.
Where You'll Stay
You don't need to book anything. Everyone stays in one of three places we've arranged, all within a few minutes of the venue. Once all RSVPs are in, we'll assign accommodations and let you know exactly where you're sleeping.

Guest numbers to be confirmed. A whole house to yourselves, with a fully equipped kitchen where you can make a coffee or fix yourself something to eat whenever you like.
Cost: €120–150 per person, and that covers everything together: both nights, all meals, and all drinks from Friday to Sunday. Nothing else to pay. We'll confirm the final amount once everything is set.
Guests staying in the same place can easily share cars, and all the accommodations are only a 4–6 minute drive from the venue.

Questions & Answers
Do I need to book accommodation?
No, we handle it. Everyone is assigned to the Domaine or one of two guesthouses nearby after RSVPs are in. The two nights together cost €120–150 per person, everything included: the nights, the food, and the drinks. Once everything is set, we will ask you to transfer the cost of your nights.
Do I really need a car?
Yes. The venue cannot be reached by public transport, so a car is a must. The best option is to share a rental with other guests: tell us your travel plans in the RSVP and we'll try to match people up and arrange pick-ups where we can. We can't promise it, though, so plan for a car of your own if you possibly can.
Can I come for just one night?
Of course. The RSVP asks whether you'll join for both nights or just one, and whether you'd like to arrive earlier or stay later.
Can I extend my stay in the region?
Please do! The area between Provence, the Ardèche, and the Gard is beautiful, and we'd love for you to turn the weekend into a few extra holiday days. The Sunday night is best arranged by you directly, and you are always welcome to get in touch with us if you'd like a few tips.
I have another question…
There's a message box at the end of the RSVP. Write us anything, or just reach out directly.
