The Best Burgundy Wedding Venues for a Destination Wedding

Burgundy does atmosphere rather well. Vine-striped hills, handsome villages and storied châteaux give wedding weekends here a natural sense of occasion, while northern Bourgogne-Franche-Comté remains surprisingly manageable from Paris.

Our current edit begins with Château de Vallery, a Renaissance landmark in Yonne, around 100 kilometres south of the capital. Designed by Pierre Lescot, architect of the Louvre, the estate brings serious historical pedigree without asking the celebration to behave too formally.

Four grand reception halls, medieval cellars, a rose garden, heated swimming pool and 28 bedrooms provide plenty of scope across a two or three-day stay. The estate is available for exclusive use, with space for large celebrations and no curfew, so dinner can move into dancing without the usual abrupt finale.
