The Helpful Bits
We want to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, so we’ve come up a few helpful and handy information to help you plan your trip from how to get here and where to stay.
If you have any other questions please feel free to drop us a message.
GETTING THERE
The celebrations take place at Château Moncassin in Leyritz Moncassin, in the Lot et Garonne region of south west France.
Addresses:
Church: Eglise Saint-Front de Castelnau-sur-Gupie, Rue de l’Eglise, 47180 Castelnau-sur-Gupie
Reception: Château Moncassin, 133 Route du Lac, 47700 Leyritz Moncassin, France
Our house: Le Domaine du Frêne, 1724 Route du Frêne, 47180 Castelnau-sur-Gupie
Travel and transport
The simplest route is to fly into Bordeaux Airport, which is around 1.5 hours by car from the château. From there, hire a car and enjoy a scenic run through rural France.
Car hire is strongly recommended. The château is in a countryside location with no direct public transport links, so having your own wheels will make life much easier and far less adventurous than it needs to be.
If you prefer rail, take the Eurostar to Paris, then the TGV to Agen, Marmande or Tonneins, followed by a taxi or hire car for the final leg.

For the foodies
The menu
As anyone who knows us will know, we are definitely foodies. More information on the menu to follow but needless to say, it’s going to be special.
The drinks
We’ve got the drinks covered. Simply relax, raise a glass and enjoy the day with us.
Children & guests
Can I bring a guest?
Due to limited numbers, we are only able to accommodate those guests named on the invitation.
Are children invited?
Unfortunately, as much as we’d love to invite all of our friends’ and families’ children, we can only accommodate a few close family children.
GIFTS
We really don’t expect gifts from our guests, we already have a kettle, a toaster and an iron (not that it ever gets used!). If you’re feeling generous and would like to gift a small donation towards a piece of art work for our new home in France, we’d appreciate it.
Having said that, you being a part of our big day is all we want & we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
