Provence itself is the perfect location for a relaxed getaway. And for couples wanting to embrace the ease of Provence at their wedding, Bastide de Toursainte is just the place to do so. The long driveway leading to the bastide provides a sense of escape and seclusion. The forested grounds add to this sense of privacy, but it’s still open enough to enjoy the radiant sunshine. The large gravel area directly in front of the bastide is a beautiful place for a reception en plein air. You can dine directly under the stars and in the warm light of the glowing bastide.

Located just 20 minutes from the center of Marseille, Bastide de Toursainte provides easy access to Provence and the French Riviera. Guests can fly into Marseille airport (just 30 minutes by car) and easily explore the South of France before joining you on your wedding day.
Bonus Tip: For a seaside Mediterranean getaway, I highly recommend Parc national des Calanques.
