We made or first visit to Bardigues from California in late June of 2014 while we were looking for a place that we could stay in with 18 of our friends and have a wedding. We also needed it to be close to a village that had additional hotels and gites for the rest of our wedding guests. After looking at six properties in the South East of France, we came across Lavayssiere...we fell immediately in love with the property and knew right away that this is where we needed to get married. Although not marketed as a wedding destination, if you can plan the (smallish) wedding with a local wedding planner (we found one in Toulouse) it is perfect. Ronan and Jemma are amazing to deal with as the proprietors, very professional and lovely people. Celine, the house manager was wonderful as well. The property is stunning, gorgeous views and tons of property to explore. The rooms, bathrooms, linens, kitchens were all perfect...wonderful designs, gorgeous tile throughout, it really is a dream home. Even with 20 people staying on the property, it never felt like a crowd because there is so much space throughout this property. The surrounding area of Bardigues is also magical, the local people and food...amazing. All of our guests that stayed with us at Lavayssiere have already asked if we could go back for our five year anniversary! Everyone was thrilled and impressed with the entire week, we could not have asked for a better place to be with our friends and family during that magical week. BTW, the wedding day went perfectly too!!! Thanks so much Ronan and Jemma! Best, Tony + Xavier
