The region

Hyères, Porquerolles, the Bandol vineyards: the other Riviera

People imagine the Riviera crowded. Between Toulon and Hyères, it is not. Château de Carqueiranne, a 13th-century house in 8 hectares, is minutes from the sea; it sleeps 50 and hosts up to 180 wedding guests, making it one of the largest venues in our collection. Thirty minutes from Toulon, Château des Trois-Bastides spreads 86 hectares of vines and pine woods around an 18th-century bastide, with two pools, 48 beds and receptions of 60 to 100.

Both are rented for your exclusive use. You have the whole estate; the owners welcome you and leave you the place — which is what sets them apart from the coast’s rental villas and hotels, where you share the pool with strangers. For a wedding, the ceremony is in the grounds, dinner under the plane trees, and everyone sleeps on site.

All around, what visitors ask for here: the Giens peninsula and the Îles d’Or — Porquerolles, Port-Cros, Le Levant — twenty minutes by boat; Hyères and its old town; Bormes-les-Mimosas and Le Lavandou; the vineyards of Bandol and La Londe; Cassis and its calanques an hour away; Saint-Tropez for a day, when the road allows; Mont Faron above Toulon. And inland Provence — Le Castellet, the Sainte-Baume — under an hour away.

For which occasion

A wedding, a holiday, a seminar

An estate with rooms for your wedding

Your guests sleep on site and the party does not stop at midnight. Reception rooms, grounds, and the château bedrooms for close family.

Château weddings

A holiday for several families

Cousins, birthdays, long tables: a whole château or manor, pool and grounds included. More authentic than a large gîte, no more expensive.

Family holidays

A seminar that changes the conversation

Reception rooms, bedrooms on site, one table for the whole team. The place does half the work.

Corporate seminars

Practical guide

Planning your stay on the French Riviera

When to come

May, June and September are the best months: the sea is warm, the roads are clear, weddings get the evening light. July and August for holidays, booked early. Winter is mild: mimosas bloom in Bormes in February, and a January seminar takes its lunch outside.

Getting there

TGV Paris–Toulon in 4 h, then 20 to 30 minutes by car. Toulon-Hyères airport is fifteen minutes from Carqueiranne; Marseille-Provence 1 h 15 away, with many more flights. A car is useful, but the beach is reached on foot or by bike.

Around

Porquerolles and the Îles d'Or, the Giens peninsula, Hyères, Bormes-les-Mimosas, Le Lavandou, Bandol and its vines, Le Castellet, Cassis and the calanques, Saint-Tropez, Mont Faron.

Frequently asked questions

What we’re asked before booking

Is the beach within walking distance?

From Carqueiranne, yes, a few minutes. From Trois-Bastides, count fifteen minutes by car to the beaches of Hyères or La Londe.

Can we get married on site?

Yes: up to 180 guests at Carqueiranne, 100 at Trois-Bastides, with a ceremony in the grounds and dinner outdoors. Guests sleep at the château — 48 to 50 beds — and the coast has hotels for the rest.

Do we need a car?

For Porquerolles, Bandol or Cassis, yes. We can arrange shuttles for wedding guests from Toulon or the airport.
