FAQs

Getting married in Provence: common questions

Can we legally marry in France as Australians?

Not easily — French law requires one party to have lived in the commune for at least 30 days. Australian couples almost always do the legal ceremony at home and a symbolic one in Provence.

When does the lavender bloom?

Generally late June into mid-July, varying by altitude and year. If lavender is the reason you're going, confirm timing with a local planner before locking a date.

How much does it cost?

Around €40,000 to €90,000 for 60 to 80 guests, with château hire and catering dominating the budget.
