The Plan for the weekend

We want you all to enjoy your weekend as much as us, the Chateau is set in a rural location with no shops/restaurants within walking distance so we will ensure you are fed and watered throughout the weekend. If there is anything in particular you want to bring such as cigarettes or munch then bring plenty with you as you will be in the middle of nowhere! We will be supplying wine, beer, champagne & cocktails on the wedding day then wine and beer for the BBQ on Sunday - there is no cash bar so you wont spend any money at the Chateau. We would suggest that everyone picks up a bottle of their favourite spirit from duty free and we can put it behind the bar, the waiters will then serve it with mixers. Uber is available out there so anyone who does want to leave the Chateau can go to nearby shops. There is a tiny shop down the road that sells weird fags and beer on tap so make sure you have all your toiletries & hangover cures before you fly!

From Chateau to the city centre

After we have checked out of the chateau, we have arranged for a bus to take us all back to the city centre. Bordeaux is beautiful and as its your holiday too its up to you guys if you want to spend some time there alone/together or spend it with all of us. We will find a place where we can chill, go for a few drinks and have a nice meal before everyone heads home.

For all the days along the way
