The Setting

As you arrive and approach the Chateau up its tree lined avenue, you will see this impressive Chateau overlooking a 200 hectare estate of countryside and farmland. It has a 12 acre lake with a boat that you can use to chill out on the waters. It offers a natural setting close to nature, with a choice of outdoor ceremony and reception locations with stunning views over the parkland.

The Chateau is located in a rural area in the heart of Gascony with the most amazing landscape but is close to all amenities with plenty of local accommodation for your guests closeby.

The Vibe

Château du Bédat is the ideal home to accommodate your closest friends and family for your big day. It can sleep up to 21 people in nine bedrooms, five with en-suite bathrooms. It boasts stunning reception rooms, a large family kitchen and a separate dining room, all tastefully decorated. There is a swimming pool, which can be heated, with a pool house – perfect for the day after to chillout and relax by.

With its elegant simplicity it is a magical location for a wedding or private party, catering for up to 120 guests. In addition to the chateau accommodation, its stone and oak beamed Chai (the Gascon word for wine barn) that has been recently renovated, is situated next to the main house and offers a beautiful picture window over the views. With a stage and modern sound system, it’s a great space.

Outdoors there are so many spaces that can be used to create a truly special occasion be it a ceremony under the avenue of trees, cocktails on the lawns overlooking the views, dinner around the fountain, brunch by the lake… to name just a few.

They can also offer a host of other services so that you can make the very most of your stay, including; private chef for family meals, clay pigeon shooting, hot air ballooning for the more adventurous and fishing on the lake.

The Chateau is available all year round and is a wonderful place not only to host your wedding but a place from which to explore the beautiful Gascon region. Château du Bédat nestles in the heart of Gers, the most spiritual and rural department in France. If you yearn for peace and relaxation, overlooking the Pyrenees, then this is the perfect place.

For more energetic activities, the region has plenty to offer – top class restaurants, historical sites including the Roman villa of Seviac, water parks for children, boating, local festivals, accrobranching (tree climbing), paint-balling, pony trekking.

They have a team of wedding professionals who will look after you, offering a complete planning service, a Private Chef and event catering service, florist and stylist and a list of handpicked recommended suppliers.

Testimonials

We fell in love with the Chateau back in 2017 when we visited for the first time for Bedat fest, the amazing energy we felt when we turned into the tree lined drive, is the feeling we get every single time we visit.

Arriving at the front door we were left gazing at the beautiful stone of the Chateau. Within minutes of being there we turned to each other and both said this is the place we want to get married.

Roll forward one year and we were back again, this time to get engaged. During a beautiful sunset down by the large scenic lake. That is when the wedding planning started.

Although we had dreamt of a wedding in France for a long time the decision wasn’t one taken lightly. Living in the UK we knew it would be difficult for guests to make the long trip across France but as soon as the wedding arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. Just seeing the amazed faces of our family and friends as they all arrived, everyone could see why we had chosen this place.

The wedding had everything we wanted for the day we are going to treasure forever. With the Chateau situated at the top of the hill, every direction you look you would see the most beautiful surroundings, fields as far as the eye can see.

All of our guests loved the whole experience, whether they were staying at the Chateau or in the surrounding area there was always plenty to do. The Chateau has a heated pool so you can lap up the sun drinking great local wine whilst the kids run around and play on the large grounds. There were also lots of local activities such as the water park, paintballing and great amenities selling local produce.

The Chateau itself is treasured by the owners so it was well kept, with lots of large bedrooms to accommodate our family for the wedding. It was also great to hear all the amazing stories and history the Chateau has to tell.

We truly loved having our wedding here and couldn’t imagine it being anywhere else. You won’t find many places like this!

We cannot wait to visit again sometime soon.

Have just spent a wonderful week in Bédat, a very charming Chateau in a fabulous situation. I awoke every morning to see the snow capped Pyrenees, I felt I could almost touch them. The sky at night was ablaze of red and as I lay in bed with the shutters open , the sky was lit up with too many stars to count. There are lovely walks and the Chateau is very comfortable, with traditional log fires. The food was exceptional, the duck lasagne is an absolute must.

Situated in a very little known area of France, not overrun with 100’s of tourists it has a plethora of historic towns to visit and some of the best restaurants in France on the doorstep.
