HOW TO GET THERE
It is completely up to you when you want to arrive in and leave from France - the only official events will be Tuesday, 2nd of September to the farewell pool party on 4th of September.
We want to note that we will be working on getting shuttles to and from the Chateau to Cotignac during the wedding events!
✈️ By Plane
Traveling into France, the easiest way for most will be to fly directly Paris (CDG for example), from there there are connecting flights to either Nice or Marseille, both of which are just over an hour from the venue, and the nearby town of Cotignac. Toulon is also an option but the flights are limited.
Marseille is the larger of the airports and will therefore likely have more options and be the most cost-effective!
How to get to the Chateau from Marseille airport?
Marseille Provence airport is around a 1h 10m drive from the venue and surrounding villages.
On exit from the Car Hire Pickup take the D20. Keep right at the fork, following signs for 'A7/Marseille/Aix-en-Provence/Fos-sur-Mer' and merge onto D20. 2.5 km later merge onto D9. Travel for 17 km then keep right on to slip road for A51. Use the middle lane to keep left at the fork and stay on A51. Take the exit onto A8/E80 towards 'Toulon/Nice/Aix-Fenouillères'. Travel for 55 km along A8 and take exit 35 for 'Brignoles towards Brignoles/Le Val'. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit to the left and at the second roundabout take the 3rd exit to the left again on D554. Continue for approx 8 min until you arrive in 'Le Val', go straight on at the little roundabout in the direction of 'Carcès/Montfort-sur-Argens' D554. When you get to 'Montfort-sur-Argens' keep on the D22 and carry straight on. The road is known to be windy. Once it gets straight you will notice a very big tree on your left. This is the entrance to the Chateau which you will see set back in the hills. At the fork keep right and follow the road up to the Chateau parking lot.
How to get to the Chateau from Nice airport?
Nice airport is around a 1h 30m drive from the venue and surrounding villages. From Nice, get on the A8 motorway in the direction of 'Cannes/Aix en Provence'. At junction after exit 36 'Le Muy', keep on A8 motorway in the direction of 'Aix-en-Provence/Marseille' (do not take the exit in the direction of Toulon when the motorway forks). Take exit 35 for 'Brignoles/Le Val', this will bring you off the motorway to the right and swing you back underneath it. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit to the left and at the second roundabout take the 3rd exit to the left again on to the D554. Continue for approx. 8 minutes until you arrive in 'Le Val', go straight on at the little roundabout in the direction of 'Carcès/Montfort-sur-Argens' D554. When you get to 'Montfort-sur-Argens' keep on the D22 and carry straight on. The road is known to be windy. Once it gets straight you will notice a very big tree on your left. This is the entrance to the Chateau which you will see set back in the hills. At the fork keep right and follow the road up to the Chateau parking lot.
🚅 By Train, our fun preferred way!
You can take the Eurostar or TGV to Aix en Provence. It's a large train station and has direct train route to Lyon, Paris, and Marseille and located about one hour away by car/taxi or to 'Les Arcs Draguignan' (the closest train station) which is 45 mins away by car/taxi. You can book train tickets from SNCF and Eurostar/TGV websites.
🚘 By Car
The wedding venue is in the countryside, so the easiest way to get from the airport to the venue and surrounding towns is by car. We recommend you rent a car for convenience, especially if you intend on sightseeing before/after the wedding.
