A Note on Gifts

A Note on Gifts

Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.

As many of you are travelling to celebrate with us, we kindly ask that you do not bring physical gifts.

If you'd still like to give something, a cash gift or gift card would be greatly appreciated — towards our future adventures or our wine collection.

If You're Staying a Few Days

Things to Do Nearby

The Village — Souillac

Just 3km from the château: Carrefour, E.Leclerc, Lidl, and Casino for groceries, plus a bakery, a florist, and a few hairdressers for last-minute touch-ups.

Restaurants

In Souillac, Le Beffroi and La Vieille Auberge are well-loved local favourites. For coffee: right by the château, Cazoulès has its own small bakery just 300m away — perfect for an easy coffee and pastry; in Souillac itself, Café de la Place is a good spot to sit down.

Markets

[Local market days and towns — Sarlat's market is a classic, if it fits the dates.]

Walks & Canoeing

[Riverside walks, canoe routes along the Dordogne, or cycling paths worth mentioning.]

Sights

[Caves, castles, or other landmarks in the region guests shouldn't miss.]

Questions We Hear a Lot

FAQ

Can we bring children?

Please check your invitation for the exact guest names — only those listed will be attending.

Can I bring a plus one?

Please check your invitation for the exact guest names — only those listed will be attending.

Will there be a transfer?

To be confirmed soon.

What will the weather be like?

Late June is usually warm during the day and cooler in the evening — pack a light layer for after dark.

What shoes should I wear?

The ceremony takes place on lawn and gravel, so block heels, wedges, or flats are more comfortable than thin stilettos.

What time does the evening end?

To be confirmed soon.

Will there be a pool?

Yes, you're welcome to enjoy it — bring your swimsuit and join in the fun!

Is there parking?

To be confirmed soon.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We'll have a professional photographer and videographer with us. For the important 10 minutes of the ceremony itself, we ask that phones stay away — outside of that, feel free to take photos, and we'll share a link where everyone can exchange and add their pictures.

Do you have any allergies?

If you have any allergies, please let us know in advance.
