01
Celebrate as a family
A christening, milestone birthday or family reunion becomes a shared stay. Generations come together for meals and discoveries while keeping their own pace.
A celebration entirely your own
More than a venue: a private home for several days together.
Yes, Château de Tournou can be privately rented for an intimate celebration near Carcassonne in the South of France. The estate sleeps up to 15 guests in 7 bedrooms and offers a private pool and tailored concierge support. Private dining, Limoux wine, wellbeing and regional experiences can be coordinated on request. Event capacity and conditions depend on each project.
Two ways to gather
The same privacy. Two different celebration rhythms.
Every project begins with the people travelling, the season and the atmosphere you want. We favour elegant, human-scale celebrations.
02
Reconnect with friends
An elegant hen or bachelorette weekend, birthday or private escape can revolve around chosen moments: food, wine, wellbeing, photography and time at the château.
Celebrations the estate can host
A clear intention for every occasion.
Christenings & family gatherings
The family reception connected with a baptism or christening can bring generations together in a completely private estate. The ceremony venue is arranged separately.
Milestone birthdays & reunions
Private dining, a multigenerational stay, pool time and regional discoveries turn a birthday or reunion into more than one evening.
Luxury hen & bachelorette stays
An elegant weekend shaped around food, wine, wellbeing and friendship, with respect for the estate and its surroundings.
Tailor-made celebrations
Engagements, vow renewals, private dinners and reunions with friends are designed around your group, season and priorities.
