Château de L'Encastre
An exclusive French château overlooking Lac de Saint-Ferréol - from intimate celebrations to unforgettable destination weddings in the South of France
About this venue
Imagine saying "I do" on a natural-stone terrace guarded by lion statues, with Lac de Saint-Ferréol shimmering in the valley below. Château de L'Encastre is a private historic estate from 1902, set on 7.5 hectares of elevated grounds near Saint-Ferréol and Revel — just 40 km from Toulouse, deep in the sun-soaked South of France.
What makes this Château different is the freedom it gives you. The whole property is yours, and its many corners — terraces, lawns, quiet garden nooks — mean your wedding never has to feel like "a venue." Dreaming of an intimate ceremony with your closest 20 or 30 people? It will feel just as personal and complete here as a 250-guest destination celebration would. Every part of your day — the vows, the dinner, the dancing — can unfold in its own beautiful setting, all within one private estate that's entirely yours for the occasion.
Stay where you celebrate: the Château itself holds five spacious bedrooms — each around 50–60 m² — ideal for housing the couple's closest family and friends, with two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. For larger weddings, the estate works closely with a number of nearby B&Bs and accommodation partners, securing favourable rates for the rest of the guest list — comfortably supporting destination weddings of up to 250 people. Transfer and shuttle arrangements can also be organised between the Château, nearby accommodation and, if needed, the airport.
Château de L'Encastre only hosts a handful of weddings each year, by design — so when it's your turn, the estate and its team are entirely focused on you. Many couples choose to make a weekend of it: a relaxed welcome evening under the stars the night before, then the ceremony, dinner and dancing the next day, surrounded by the people who matter most.
For couples who want a French château wedding that feels private, personal and completely their own — whether that's an intimate elopement-style celebration or an unforgettable multi-day destination wedding — Château de L'Encastre offers exactly that.
