Arrival and First Taste of Provence

Next up, we’ll take a scenic drive to our home for the next four nights – the breathtaking Château de Tourreau. Surrounded by the stunning Provençal countryside, this magnificent chateau is pure opulence and charm. This evening, we’ll kick off in style with the inaugural 'Blanc Ball' – a Welcome Gala Dinner under the stars, set in the château's gorgeous grounds. Our private chef will be serving up a feast, perfectly paired with wines from the neighbouring vineyards. Get ready for an unforgettable, decadent night.

A Day of Leisure at the Château

We know that you'll want to have a whole day at the château to live like Kings and Queens (mainly Queens), so today is just that! Spend your day lounging by the pool, exploring the stunning gardens, or trying your hand at archery, boules, or perhaps even hitting the tennis or volleyball courts. You can even take a bike and go for a ride through the countryside, visiting a couple of nearby wineries.

We promise you won't go hungry as our private chef is going to prepare a delicious BBQ lunch for you to enjoy out in the grounds and just help yourself to our fully stocked wine fridge – it’s all included.
