Sharing your accommodation plans or registering interest helps you coordinate with other guests and helps us plan weekend shuttles. Please note that registering interest does not book or hold a room — we warmly recommend booking your stay directly as soon as possible, as May is a bank holiday weekend in France.

Saturday evening shuttle

We plan to offer an evening shuttle from the domain to nearby accommodation on Saturday, so everyone can enjoy the celebration and get home safely. We recommend choosing one of the places on our accommodation list, or booking somewhere within approximately 20 minutes' drive of the domain. Once we know where guests are staying, we'll confirm the shuttle routes, stops and times. We will also organize a shuttle for the Sunday Morning so you can pick up your cars after the Brunch.

Consider booking near friends or other wedding guests. It could make the weekend even more fun, including the time you spend together between celebrations at the domain. If you need help to connect with fellow guests let us know
