About this property

Stunning Rural Château For Group Retreats and Holidays

An enchanting Château set in beautiful woodland and endless greenery. Scents of wisteria and lavender and sounds of birdsong will welcome you when you arrive at this haven of tranquillity in the heart of Aveyron in the south of France. We offer a secluded and magical place for your weddings and special celebrations.

The Château is lovingly cared for by Julia, originally from Australia. An artist and designer by trade, Julia has renovated this magnificent estate to create a wooded wonderland with its beautiful bedrooms, quintessential rustic French period features, walled garden, peaceful swimming pool, stunning Event Hall, woodlands and seasonal lake.

The Château is available for exclusive rental, meaning you will have complete, private access to the entire estate. If you are dreaming of a bohemian, rustic French wedding without compromising on style and modern facilities, then we tick all the boxes. Hold your ceremony under the decorated arch to the walled garden, celebrate with your loved ones with a cocktail reception overlooking lavender and wisteria and dine and dance the night away in our dedicated Grand Events Hall.

Host your dream wedding or special event at the Château. With its history, beautiful gardens, private chapel, the Château makes for the perfect venue for a wide range of celebrations.

Our grand event hall, once a royal livery can now accommodate up to 80 guests for a sit down reception or dinner, while there is ample room for a marquee in the extensive gardens or why not enjoy a relaxed party or BBQ by the swimming pool?

Surrounded by nature and blessed with beautiful French sunshine, we can help design your ideal event with our range of recommended suppliers, packages and local knowledge.

The Château's Grand Event Hall, once a royal livery, can accommodate up to 80 people for a sit down event. The Hall features an excellent catering kitchen for your suppliers to use as well as separate washroom facilities for your guests to use.

The Hall retains many of its original features including its wooden beams in the high ceiling which have been painstakingly restored, as well as a trough which runs the full length of the building, harking back to the Hall’s days as a livery for the French royal family.

This can be beautifully decorated with greenery to wonderful effect and we will be here to help provide support and suggestions on how to get the most out of this special space.

The large windows along the wall facing the chateau, makes it a beautifully airy space with views across the gardens, planted with iris and lavender, and back up to the Château.

There is plenty of space for a bar area and top table and you are welcome to hire in chairs and tables to suit your style. The look is completed with elegant chandeliers and a solid oak floor, giving an aura of bohemian chic meets timeless sophistication.

The Private Chapel is available for your intimate vow ceremony, a private dinner under the stars or a tranquil meditation space. Decorated with a deep blue ceiling and twinkling golden stars, this special place is yours to enjoy.

The Château boasts an elegant dining room which has recently been refurbished and its warm, rich decor is ideal for a more intimate event or special dinner. With views of the fountain and gardens, and gently lit by three beautiful chandeliers, this is a very special space which creates a grand yet tranquil ambience for you and your guests.

Amongst the 12 acres of glorious gardens and ancient woodlands, you will find the extensive walled gardens which look through a beautiful entrance-way back up to the Château itself.

This is an ideal place for a wedding ceremony, framed by an arch and the backdrop of bountiful nature and the beautiful Château. The space would also work perfectly for a drinks reception or al-fresco dining space for your wedding or event. On the estate you will also find ample room to erect a marquee for larger celebrations.

The Château also offers a beautiful swimming pool in the peaceful surroundings of the estate's grounds. The swimming pool is available to all guests staying at the Château and can be incorporated into your celebrations for weddings and events. Enjoy a pool party and BBQ with your guests underneath the French sun, surrounded by nature and tranquil atmosphere.

Let's discuss your wedding day wishes together and we will be here to help guide and support you throughout your planning process and, of course, during the event itself. Choose a full package provided by our recommender wedding planner or feel free to curate the different elements of the day yourself, making it a truly unique and personal celebration.

From catering, to music, to choosing the perfect décor, we can have links with outstanding English-speaking suppliers throughout the area, meaning you can rest assured that you will be able to find everything you need to make your day true to your visions.

We can also accommodate both of you plus 16 of your guests on site in our superb accommodation and there are plenty of other excellent accommodation options in the area. We offer bespoke accommodation in both our B&B rooms in the Château itself and our two gites; The Stables and The Guardian’s Cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Josie Batchelor

Host profile image
Château Mas de Pradié was built in the mid eighteenth century and its large barn, which today has been converted into an impressive Event Hall, once served as a royal relay station for horses, meaning that royalty often stopped here on their way north. It was also home to an old mill that operated when the lake flooded seasonally into the ancient cave system below.

​Château Mas de Pradié was taken over by current owner, Julia, in 2019 and has since undergone an intense period of renovation to bring its character back to life. Julia has sought to find that perfect balance between maintaining the property’s original charm and making it an enviable location for events and luxury stays; breathing new life into old stones while successfully maintaining an authentic and rustic appeal and staying true to the nature and historic of this special place.

​Artists have sought out the south of France for centuries for its mesmerising scenery and special quality of light, which at sunset, floods the land with a beautiful golden shimmer. The previous owner of the Château was an artist who put his own stamp on the estate and this tradition has continued with current owner, Julia.

Why they chose this property

"A step to the side has led me down this path to Mas de Pradié and my new home in France. A decision made that life from here on will only be filled with beauty, nature and truth. A wish to hear birds sing, watch flowers bloom and smell delicacies bake. A desire for a slower life, but a fuller life. A haven where all my life skills as an artist, ceramicist, interior designer and author, can come together in this place. This will be my ultimate organic masterpiece, buildings and barns in stone and wood, with walled gardens, a grotto and woodlands. This magical place has secrets to reveal! I invite you on this journey with me."

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Château Mas de Pradié, an enchanting Château set in beautiful woodland and endless greenery. We offer a secluded and magical place for your weddings and special celebrations and also cater for group holidays and romantic couples’ retreats.
