Château de Vaulogé
Deluxe b&b in a castle, the Château de Vaulogé is situated near Le Mans, in the heart of the Sarthe. In a romantic and enchanting setting, the château rises - surrounded by wide moats where wild ducks, herons and swans are masters. Built in the 15th century and protected by crenulated walls and a prison, the castle with its towers and its turrets was extended in the 19th century in neo-gothic style.
This château offers 5 bedrooms and it's located a 25-min drive from the wedding venue.
We've created a document with more details and rates about each place.
If you have any trouble making your reservation with any of the previous locations, please don't hesitate to contact our wedding planners Virginie and Leila at virginie-leila@vlheavent.fr they will be happy to help!
If you prefer a more city vibe, there's always the beautiful city of Le Mans, where you'll be able to find plenty of hotels and Airbnbs. The city is located around 30-min away from the wedding château.
Le Mans
Le Mans is famous as the setting for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the grueling round-the-clock car race. But it's also an ancient town, with Roman walls, a beautiful cathedral and plenty of museums to see. Car aficionados will especially like the Musée Automobile de la Sarthe, where there's a great collection of vehicles. There are, however, beautiful reminders of the past and a gloriously restored old city, which was used as a backdrop for several movies. Saint-Julien Cathedral, at its heart, is a wonder and should not be missed.
...and what about Paris?

We invite you to join us the week before our wedding for some loosely-planned activities in Paris!
Starting on Monday, September 25th, leaving to the wedding château the morning of Friday, September 29th.
