Château de Chéronne is a historic family-owned chateau in Tuffé, Sarthe, hired exclusively for weddings in an English-style park about 1h45 from Paris.
Château de Chéronne is a family-owned chateau in Tuffé, in the Sarthe department of the Pays de la Loire, about 1h45 from Paris. The estate has been handed down within one family for around 500 years and has not been sold since 1370. Its oldest building, the logis-porte of around 1490, is listed as a historic monument, and the chateau itself dates from the 16th century. Income from weddings and events goes towards the upkeep and restoration of the estate.
Weddings are held from May to October, and the whole domaine is reserved to the wedding party for the weekend. A park in the English style, covering 4 hectares, holds the cocktail in front of the chateau, with up to 500 guests, and a heated marquee behind it hosts dinner. Ceremonies can take place in the park beneath an old tree or in the small private chapel inside the chateau, which is relayed by video to guests outside. The evening has no end time, and a brunch follows the next day in the grounds. Rooms in the chateau and four gites on the estate accommodate guests, with further lodging nearby.
