Welcome to Château Gassies
Set on a peaceful hillside overlooking Bordeaux, Château Gassies is more than an 18th-century estate—it is our home.
We are Géraldine and Ben, your hosts, and we created this place to share what we cherish most about France: its culture, gastronomy, and art of living.
After many years abroad, restoring this historic château became our way of opening the doors to an authentic French lifestyle—where heritage meets comfort, and elegance feels effortless.
Today, Château Gassies offers a peaceful retreat with refined suites, beautiful views, and a warm, personal welcome.
Ideally positioned between Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion, the Médoc, Sauternes, and the Dordogne, the estate is perfectly placed to explore the best of Southwest France—from world-renowned wines and gastronomy to charming villages and exceptional restaurants.
We look forward to welcoming you for a memorable experience of French living.
Weddings at Château Gassies
Celebrate your special day in a setting full of charm and romance.
Exchange vows beneath centuries-old oak trees, in the heart of the park, or under the elegant arches of our 19th-century courtyard. Continue the celebration with cocktails on the west terrace, overlooking Bordeaux as the sun sets behind the majestic cedar.
As evening falls, gather in the reception hall, where chandeliers and antique mirrors set the scene for an unforgettable dinner and celebration.
The following morning, enjoy a relaxed brunch with your loved ones before beginning your new chapter together.
