Location
Château de Saint-Martory
Château de Saint-Martory, a beautifully restored Renaissance castle from the early 16th century, offers a magical wedding venue on the banks of the Garonne River, with the Pyrenees Mountains as a stunning backdrop. The chateau, located just 45 minutes from Toulouse International Airport, is set within 45 hectares of forest and gardens, providing complete privacy and a serene atmosphere for our special day.
The château grounds, courtyard, and outdoor farmhouse allows plenty of space for our outdoor ceremony and reception, as well as a swimming pool for our Sunday festivities.
Directions
In order to reach the venue via plane, we recommend flying into Toulouse (TLS) airport. From there, Château de Siradan is an approximately 45 minute drive.
For those of you which are choosing to drive across the border, and indulge in a road-trip along your way, we recommend using the Dover Port to board a ferry which will depart at Calais. From the Calais Port, our venue is a 9.5 hour drive via Paris.
Where to Stay
Whilst we would love to accommodate all of our guests at Château de Siradan, the rooms inside are reserved for the wedding party and immediate family only. Alternative accommodation can be found nearby, with plenty of options available.
We would recommend staying in Bagnères-de-Luchon (commonly referred to as Luchon), as it is a short 25 minute drive from the venue. Le Castel D’Alti is a gorgeous hotel within central Luchon that offers great hospitality, access roads in and out of the town, as well as amenities such as an indoor pool and hot-tub.
Alternatively, if you’re hoping to stay a little closer to the venue, we encourage you to explore the many options on Airbnb located within Siradan. Here you can find many short term rental properties, ranging from small, 1 bedroom apartments, to grand lake-houses that comfortably sleep over 10 people. The majority of these offer breathtaking views over the mountains, and some are even within walking distance of our venue!

We’re excited to have you spend a few days with us in Siradan, but it’s a long journey and we would highly encourage you to either arrive before the wedding or extend your trip afterward to explore some of the other fantastic destinations in the vicinity.
