Domaine de Lauvergnac

A wedding at Lauvergnac on France’s Guérande peninsula

In La Turballe, Domaine de Lauvergnac brings together two reception areas within grounds advertised as covering more than 25 hectares: the château and the farm. They serve different purposes and have separate approaches: Boulevard de Lauvergnac for the château and Route de Méliniac for the farm. Identify the booked area in guest invitations and supplier instructions. Visits are by appointment with the team, which prepares a tailored quotation.

The Orangerie, château courtyard and grounds

The Orangerie is a 320 m² venue beneath a fabric-lined canopy, overlooking the château. The official website lists 80–320 seated guests and up to 450 standing. The grounds can accommodate an outdoor ceremony or drinks reception; the château courtyard also provides space for reception activities. These figures refer to different layouts and must not be added together. Confirm the space available for tables, service, technical equipment and dancing in your chosen arrangement.

The farm: spaces for different stages of the celebration

The Grande Salle covers 240 m² and is advertised for 220 seated or 350 standing guests. Salle Bouton d’Or covers 100 m², with 80 seated or 120 standing. A 300 m² enclosed courtyard can hold up to 420 standing guests. The Verrière, with its bar, offers another space whose capacity is not specified on the website. Current official measurements take precedence here over differing figures in older venue profiles. Request a plan of your booked area and a suitable wet-weather alternative.

Catering, furniture and supplier arrangements

The team can recommend caterers, decorators, photographers and entertainers. The professional venue information cross-checked advertises venue hire without compulsory catering, a catering kitchen and permission to bring drinks; confirm those arrangements in your contract. Menus, dietary provision, corkage, furniture, tableware and staffing are not automatically included. Check delivery access and the electrical supply needed by your suppliers.

Accommodation, accessibility and evening arrangements

No current accommodation capacity was confirmed on the official website. Arrange overnight stays and transfers separately until the team clarifies available options. Parking and accessible access are mentioned in the profiles reviewed; routes, toilets and any upper floors require an on-site check. A 5 am finishing limit appears in a professional profile but is not confirmed by the current official website. Music hours, sound levels, key handover and cleaning therefore need to be agreed in writing.

Budget and practical questions before booking

No official numeric price list appears on the pages reviewed. Undated, non-contractual professional references advertise venue hire between €2,900 and €7,300; these are not guaranteed prices for your date. Ask for the price of the selected area, exclusive-use period, season, VAT, security deposit, advance payments and extras. Exclusive use of the whole estate and the absence of simultaneous events have not been established: clarify shared areas, parking and access. The presentation photograph shows the château in February 2015, rather than the current interiors or every space available.
