Welcome
Welcome to Château de Paon, Luxury French Chateau Weddings & Events
In the heart of the Camargue lies Chateau de Paon, a family owned estate nestled in breathtaking natural landscapes which have inspired the likes of Van Gogh and Marcel Pagnol
At Château de Paon, we are Serious About Joie de Vivre, devoted to the art of living beautifully, celebrating love, and creating moments that linger long after they end. Set in the Camargue countryside, just minutes from Arles, this exclusive Provençal estate is renowned for its timeless elegance, authentic charm, and modern comfort.
Built in the 16th century and lovingly restored, Château de Paon welcomes guests through wrought-iron gates and along a tree-lined drive to its graceful façade painted in soft Provençal tones. Sun-kissed terraces, tranquil gardens, and elegantly restored interiors — complete with a sparkling swimming pool — reflect a spirit of effortless elegance and Provençal joy.
Perfect for luxury destination weddings in the South of France, Château de Paon offers exquisite settings for ceremonies, receptions, and multi-day celebrations,
with accommodation for up to 26 guests.
Here, luxury feels personal, celebration feels natural, and every gathering is infused with the timeless romance of France, and our defining philosophy: Serious About Joie de Vivre.
The heart of the chateau dates back to the 16th century, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that it took on the form we recognise today: large wrought iron gates opening onto a driveway leading to an exquisitely restored chateau in classic Provence colours.
The Estate
The name Château de Paon was inspired by the graceful peacocks that once sought shade beneath the estate’s ancient elm tree. Though they have long since gone, their quiet beauty
endures in the château’s spirit, a lasting symbol of elegance, serenity, and charm.
Set within two acres of private in Provence parkland, the estate embodies natural grace and timeless refinement. Inside, restored period features meet modern comfort, offering luxurious accommodation for up to 26 guests. Each room captures the same effortless harmony that defines life at Château de Paon — a true celebration of Joie de Vivre in the heart
of the French countryside.
