Jollity Farm Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Can anyone tell me if there are any chateau -type venues in the Limousin that do civil ceremonies as I have a friend who would love to be married over here and needs to find a venue- reasonably close to an airport for guests to travel easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 AFAIK civil weddings in France are only conducted at the Mairiesee here and here for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 What about that chateau from the No Going Back series [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 There are only civil weddings in France. Best moments during English friend's was 60 plus groom telling mayor having been told of legal requirement to ensure maximum number of children and bringing them up was that they had tried very hard last night and intended to follow their civic responsibilities this evening as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riberac Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 We live in France and my or maire will not even allow my daughter and her fiance to marry in our village because they are not intending to live in the village.It all has something to do with cost.

Motorhead Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Riberac previously said on another thread:"Thanks.Next stop my own farm as Im only 26yrs I can get a young farmers grant of 16,000 euros a year. "Maybe it's because she's obviously underage. I've known farm girls to marry young but this is ridiculous.ABOT. About 4 years ago I was at a B&B near Cussac (not far southwest of Limoges) that also acted as overspill acommodation for a nearby chateau that was very popular for weddings from outwith the area. Whether they had an acommodating local maire or whether they just did the party bit I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riberac Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 So sorry you try to help people .It was actually my 26 year old son that was writing that,but this site out of all the expat forums seems the worst for sarcasm.I am 54yrs and my daughter is 33yrs I dont think you would call that under age unless you have to be 40 years.

Cassis Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hang on, I'll just put a smilie in. [:D]I wasn't being sarcastic, I was amused by what Motorhead had said and was trying to make a joke. Obviously did not come off. [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athene Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 We have a French house (maison secondaire) and were considering getting married in France. However the paperwork was going to be daunting with permission from Paris and medicals to go through too! It was easier all round to marry in England. I dreaded that everyone would turn up on the day and then it would be found that there were problems with the documentation and it could not happen!

Motorhead Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 OK I'm sorry. It was a (failed) attempt at humour to illustrate the dangers of more than one person posting under the same name. I know there's a place for humour on the forum and I will confine my attempts at it there in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 That's another nail in the coffin for the forum if the humour police are cracking down that harshly! I thought it was funny - and I didn't even realise it was two people posting (I'm obviously not quick enough on the uptake). [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misspremier Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hello i dont know wheather this will be of any help, but when i was engaged i looked into marrying in France. Firstly you have to marry in a Marie, Then afterwards you can have a ceromony in a church or chateau. I got this information from a british company but i cant remember what it was called. Hope this is of some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
