A tour of Château Saint-Joseph, a South of France wedding venue, and how to know if it’s the perfect destination wedding venue for you
When it comes to destinations in the South of France, Provence & the Riviera get a lot of attention. But there’s an underrated region that deserves more attention: Occitanie. Located near the Spanish border, not far from the Pyrenees, the Occitanie region is a breathtaking countryside uncluttered by the tourists of other southern regions.
Nestled within the region is the charming Château Saint-Joseph. Family-owned and recently renovated, the château boasts a Haussmann architectural facade—a rarity outside of Paris. Here’s how to know if this countryside property is the perfect destination wedding venue for you:

01. If you love the sophistication of Paris but also the charm of the countryside
First and foremost, Château Saint-Joseph is perfect if you love the classic Haussmann architecture of Paris, but are drawn to a countryside setting. It’s rare to find the Haussmann style outside of Paris, but you’ll find it tucked away in the countryside at Saint-Joseph. The iconic Parisian-style of architecture is paired with the classic blue shutters of the South of France. It’s a perfect blend of city sophistication and countryside charm.
02. If you’re wanting a relaxing, extended wedding celebration
The château offers guests a true escape to the countryside. With beautiful on-site accommodations, catering, a pool, and even a film screening room, there’s no shortage of ways to unwind. It provides the perfect setting to celebrate and enjoy your wedding beyond just the wedding day.
03. If you want the perks of the South of France without the tourists
Another reason to love Château Saint-Joseph is its location is the southern region of Occitanie. Far less congested than Provence and the Riviera, Occitanie still offers some of the beloved gems of the South of France—the sunshine, lavender, and even the mountainous landscape with the nearby Pyrenees. It’s an underrated gem of the South of France.
