FONSCOLOMBE - FRENCH CHATEAU WEDDING VENUE IN PROVENCE

AIX EN PROVENCE is synonymous with Rosé and lavender and it is also home to the luxury resort and FRENCH WEDDING VENUE - CHATEAU DE FONSCOLOMBE.

Provence is known for fields lavender that extend for as far as the eye can see. What people forget is the lavender fields are usually complemented by equally majestic, never-ending fields of towering sunflowers. All of which is constantly being tended to by millions of bees which are some of the top culinary artists of the land – crafting a lavender infused honey that is sure to show up in many recipes of the gourmet restaurants in the region. And of course Provence provides as much as Rosé as you need to keep you cool under that southern French sun. If the chilled, fruity wine isn’t your thing though and your palate enjoys a little extra depth, then fill your glass with garnet colored juice of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from the famed region of Châteauneuf du Pape. This particular area truly opens the door to the history of the region, situated just 25 minutes from Avignon. The medieval walled city of Avignon is a Unesco site where you can visit the Palais des Papes – Covering 15,000 square meters, the palace is the biggest medieval Gothic building in Europe and the largest Gothic palace in the world. For some more local trivia, the Avignon city walls constitute the 2nd longest continuous wall in the world, after the Great Wall of China.
