France is one of the most popular countries with tourists who visit to experience history, culture, and its beautiful coastline. The exotic locales, such as the French Riviera, are also popular with couples planning to tie the knot. Couples are required to tie the knot in a civil ceremony at the town hall before planning a religious ceremony. Foreigners who wish to get married in France need to be residing in the local area for at least 30 days or have a bond with the place. If that is not possible, couples can complete the civil ceremony in their home country, and later organize a symbolic ceremony in France. Couples can rent gorgeous villas and chateaus away from the cities to exchange their vows and combine the wedding with a honeymoon. Continue reading for the top Airbnb wedding venues in France to celebrate your big day.

More information from the hosts:
This estate has become, over the last eight decades, a true family castle, welcoming the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Le Bigot every summer for stays of varying lengths.
Since the mid-2010s, the latter, wishing to maintain this heritage steeped in history, have offered the privatization of the place for stays and weddings, which now, in their own way, punctuate the life of the castle in spring, summer and autumn.

Exclusive host insights for Trip101 readers:
The house was built in the fourteenth century and has a tunnel to the church, presumably built when the house was given to the Church in around the fifteenth century. It’s now closed in, but you can still see the entrance in the basement of La Tour…where you will also find the medieval bread ovens! Purportedly, there is also a tunnel under the fields to the new Chateau, where the owners moved when this house became a Priory.
We have the apse of the village church in the garden, which makes a wonderful backdrop for weddings. Anyone who is French and Catholic can marry in the church and have the reception right next door in Le Prieure. It’s a family house and we create the atmosphere of having come to your favourite relative’s home for your wedding. We make it as personal as we possibly can - down to drying the rose petals all summer for the home made confetti!
