Villa La Tosca is a 1903 beachfront villa in Taussat on the Arcachon Bay, taken on exclusive use for weddings with the garden for vows and up to 120 guests outside for the evening.
Villa La Tosca is a beachfront villa in Taussat, in the commune of Lanton on the Arcachon Bay, built in 1903 in the Italian-influenced style of the Atlantic coast. The villa stands in a 4,000 sq m park and garden, and a private gate opens straight onto the beach. Eight bedrooms, including the 40 sq m La Vue suite in the belvedere and the 80 sq m L'Eau vive, are furnished with antique pieces and objects gathered on the owners' travels. An ecological swimming pool, filtered by aquatic plants and fed by a natural spring, sits in the garden.
For weddings the villa is taken on exclusive use. The garden is the setting for vows and photographs, the evening can host up to 120 guests outside, and a brunch follows the next day. A wedding-day coordinator, intendant and security guard are part of the first privatisation option, and the second adds a cocktail, dinner and wellness workshops. A private chef can prepare dinner on request, and guests beyond the villa's fifteen beds can stay in Taussat within five minutes' walk. Bordeaux Mérignac Airport is about 40 minutes away by car.

A villa of 1903 on the beach at Taussat
Villa La Tosca was built in 1903 in the Italian-influenced style of the Atlantic coast, for Germain Cumenge, Prosecutor of the Republic in Bordeaux. The villa was later restored under the supervision of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, and its garden gate opens directly onto the beach of the Arcachon Bay. Eight bedrooms are decorated with antique furniture and pieces collected on the owners' travels.
Vows in the garden, an evening for up to 120
The garden is the setting for the vows and for photographs in the light of the bay. The evening can host up to 120 guests outside, with a brunch at the villa the following day. Two privatisation options are offered: the first covers the rooms, breakfasts and wedding-day team, and the second adds a cocktail and dinner, a brunch and three wellness workshops.
Eight bedrooms, a pool and a private chef
The ecological swimming pool is filtered by aquatic plants and fed by a natural spring. A private chef can prepare a dinner on request, on a terrace, by the pool or beside a fire in winter, from a semi-professional kitchen. Guests who do not stay in the villa can find hotels, bed and breakfasts and villas in Taussat within five minutes' walk.
