Le Grand Banc

Who else can say their wedding took over an entire hilltop village overlooking the Luberon and that they’ve married on the site where intrepid Englishman and inventor Jeremy Fry hosted his most exclusive and personal parties?

Previously featured in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, the ancient hamlet is situated in the heart of the Luberon region of Provence. It commands sumptuous views across an untamed landscape and the Luberon National Park, not to mention lavender fields on the hills.

Le Grand Banc’s commitment to preserving its serene and untouched beauty makes it the perfect venue for intimate, low-impact celebrations.

There are several locations within the hamlet where a ceremony can be held. The choice is entirely yours!

As you have the whole hamlet to use, there are several places to have your reception. Typically guests choose a roaming reception after their ceremony, starting on the lower terrace and moving through the hamlet to eventually arrive at the pool terrace with drinks, confetti and photo opportunities along the way.

There are 15 bedrooms spread across small houses, apartments, and individual rooms, sleeping up to 24 people. Each space varies in size, layout, and interior style. The hamlet also features an art collection that has caught the attention of several style publications.

Breakfast is included each day for those staying. All other meals are designed to suit your preferences. Working with experienced caterers and a planner familiar with the venue, you can choose how and where you’d like to eat.

Situated between several picturesque villages, Le Grand Banc offers plenty to explore. You might take a walk through the Gorges d’Oppedette, enjoy wine on the terrace at Les Davids, or have lunch in the village of Oppedette.

Avignon TGV station is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes by car, and Marseille Provence Airport is around a 1 hour 45 minute drive. Weddings are supported by a reliable local transport company offering cars and buses.
