The Estate

A green island, at the gates of Avignon.

On the island of l'Oiselay, in the heart of 6 hectares of Natura 2000 protected land, La Chartreuse opens its doors: a 19th-century house fully renovated in 2023, an enclosed 3,000 m² park sheltered from the wind, and an olive grove of 30 trees for your photos.

Here, your wedding is both country-style and elegant: the ceremony under the trees, drinks on the terrace, then dinner served by the chef's team, and a party that lasts until 4 am.

One wedding at a time: the halls and the park are yours.

160seated guests
15beds on site
3 000m² enclosed park

A privileged location

Between Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a peaceful setting.

Sorgues, Vaucluse: an estate that is easy to reach for your guests, yet sheltered from everything, on a Natura 2000 protected island.

With more than 30 years of experience in some of the great houses of French gastronomy, the chef honed his craft in exceptional establishments such as Le Negresco, L'Oustau de Baumanière, the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco and the Miramar Beach Hôtel, including several Michelin-starred restaurants and Relais & Châteaux properties.

Today he brings his high standards, passion and expertise to La Chartreuse, for tailor-made receptions and weddings where fine food, elegance and generosity meet. With the full package, his team takes care of your reception from A to Z: drinks reception with food stations, seated dinner, cheese and desserts.

Tailor-made menus: any other wishes? The chef will create them with you. You can also bring your own wedding cake, at no extra cost.

La Chartreuse on weekdays

What if you said yes… on a weekday?

Almost every couple first thinks of a Saturday. Then many discover that a weekday wedding changes everything: the atmosphere, the pace… and the budget.

Your loved ones will be there

It's not a matter of day, it's a matter of affection: invited a year ahead, your loved ones take two days off for you.

Guests in holiday mode

They have taken time off and arrive relaxed, without the fatigue of a working week or Friday-evening traffic.

More dates, more choice

Even in high season, the choice of dates is much wider, and your favourite suppliers are more often available.

The same wedding, for less

Same venue, same season, same experience: several thousand euros' difference, for more freedom and peace of mind.

Your savings, reinvested

The difference with the weekend can pay for one or two extra suppliers: a photobooth, a cocktail bar, a live band or the next-day brunch.

The date that matters to you

The day you met, an anniversary, a symbolic date: on a weekday, it is far more likely to still be available.

Real example

In June at La Chartreuse, estate hire: 3 980 € on a weekday versus 5 980 € at the weekend.
