In every season, Provence is a favored destination for French tourists, as well as those from around the world; this is largely due to the charm of its towns and villages, its mild climate, and its warm atmosphere, typical of the south. This is why many couples consider getting married in this region, as the possibilities are nearly endless and the settings sublime. If you want to know more and get help preparing for your future wedding, let us explain the reasons why a wedding in Provence is the decision you should make!
The Best Time to Get Married in Provence
Getting married in Provence is ideal if you want to wed in good weather! Indeed, the region has the distinction of being sunny regardless of the season, although it’s preferable to choose a season when it’s warm!
In fact, spring seems to be a good compromise: the sun returns, the heat isn’t too strong, allowing you to avoid sweating in your dress or suit. Moreover, the month of May, thanks to public holidays, favors the organization of your wedding by ensuring the presence of your guests. This is especially important if family or friends are scattered across France or abroad!
Summer is equally well-suited for weddings: it must be admitted that heat and sunshine are almost guaranteed during this period, which makes it easier for photos and organizing the aperitif, or even the outdoor meal.

Rustic, Bohemian, or Luxurious Wedding: Which Style to Choose?
Before organizing your wedding, it’s important to choose the style that best suits you and your partner: for a rustic wedding, look at the castles in the region; these are ideal if you’re looking for a rustic place, a timeless interlude for a dream wedding. Château de Sannes, Château de Robernier, Château de la Garde… each has its own charm, and getting married there will allow you to transform this special day into a real fairy tale.
If you want to get married in a luxury-oriented style, we recommend choosing a luxurious hotel or a prestigious restaurant, such as Le Royal Provence or La Baumanière, exceptional places that will delight you with their traditional cuisine and typical Provençal charm. Finally, if you’re looking for a bohemian style, the estates in Provence will transform your wedding into a moment full of conviviality and authenticity. Lastly, there are also more unusual places, like the Presqu’île de Real Plantin, a four-hectare estate that even has a private beach!
