A celebration entirely your own

More than a venue: a private château wedding near Carcassonne

An intimate, elegant wedding in a preserved natural setting at the heart of Occitanie.

Ideally 30 to 60 guests - maximum capacity 90 - 7 bedrooms - 15 guests - structured weather backup plan

Located about thirty minutes from Carcassonne, among the vineyards and stone villages of Cathar Country, Château de Tournou is a private château wedding venue in Occitanie, reserved for intimate celebrations in a preserved natural setting with no overlooking neighbours.

A private residence for nearly eight centuries, the château now welcomes couples seeking an intimate, elegant and thoughtfully planned wedding experience.

We deliberately favour intimate celebrations — ideally between 30 and 60 guests, with a maximum capacity of 90 — in order to preserve the balance of the estate and the quality of the experience.

Château de Tournou is for couples who want to experience an entire wedding weekend near Carcassonne without carrying the planning burden alone.

Planning & Hospitality

A structured setting for a seamless experience

At Château de Tournou, thoughtful, tailor-made planning allows you to remain fully present throughout your celebration.

At Château de Tournou, we do more than provide a reception venue in Occitanie. We help shape a complete wedding experience. Exclusive use includes the reception spaces, terraces, salons, tables and chairs needed for your celebration.

Our difference lies in the support we provide. From the first conversation through the wedding day, we can assist with the planning framework, detailed timeline, vendor coordination, floral styling, logistics and calm on-the-day support.

You are free to choose your own caterer, DJ and photographer, and to shape the celebration around your priorities.

If helpful, we can introduce trusted vendors from the Carcassonne area and across Occitanie.

The estate offers several versatile reception spaces. A terrace of approximately 200 m², part of which is covered, hosts the key moments of your wedding in an elegant natural setting. The château's lounges offer a refined indoor alternative.

Château de Tournou allows some of your guests to stay directly on the estate. The château has 7 bedrooms, including 3 suites, offering accommodation for 15 guests across 580 m² of interior spaces. Bed linen and bath towels are provided.

On-site accommodation allows immediate family, the wedding party and closest friends to stay together, creating a calmer and more intimate atmosphere throughout the weekend.

Weddings at Château de Tournou often form part of a complete experience: arriving the evening before, getting ready on site, the celebration, then a brunch the following morning.

For additional guests, we can recommend nearby vacation rentals, guesthouses and hotels around Limoux and Carcassonne.

A thoughtful weather plan is prepared for every wedding. If conditions change, an elegant covered reception setup can be arranged without compromising guest comfort or the atmosphere of the celebration.
