We appreciate that a destination wedding is a big ask but we hope that you can think of it as a “mini holiday” in a stunning location surrounded by great company, delicious food and wonderful French wine.

The Dordogne is a beautiful part of France and we would highly recommend anyone who is not on a tight timescale to spend some extra time in the area. If you are thinking of doing this, please do speak to us for ideas of where to stay and what to see.

We cannot wait to welcome you to the chateau, we are so excited for what is shaping up to be a fabulous weekend!

Location

The chateau is located in the Dordogne Valley and the closest town is Beaulieu-Sur-Dordogne. The local area is a tourist hotspot and there are so many great places to visit and things to do!

Getting to the Chateau

By Plane

There are five possible airports within reach of the Chateau; Brive-la Gaillarde (45 mins), Limoges (1 hr 30 mins), Bergerac (2 hours), Toulouse (2hours) & Bordeaux (3 hours)

Please find below a number of (but not all) flight options (leaving Friday 7th June - returning Monday 10th June ) along with travel times to Chateau Du Doux. Suggested flights based on cost and timings are highlighted in green.

These are for return flights with the same carrier. It may work out cheaper and/or more convenient to mix and match your flights.

By Car

France can of course be accessed by Ferry or EuroTunnel and the Chateau is a 7-9 hour drive from Calais. We would recommend this route if you would perhaps like to make the trip part of an extended holiday.

Car Hire

All of the airports above offer low-cost car hire from Hertz/Avis/Europcar/ Sixt. A car is the best way to get around France and also gives you the possibility of extending your holiday should you wish to after the wedding.

We strongly recommend you book your car hire in advance to avoid any unexpected issues. Taxis are famously non-existent in rural France and if you are lucky enough to find one, historically unreliable and expensive.

Shared Transport

Please do let us know as soon as you have booked your flights. If enough people are on the same flight we may be able to help organise transfers to the chateau.

If you have any further questions regarding transport to the venue please do get in touch and we'd be happy to help.
