How the Rare Venues reports are made

Sources, selection rules, dates, missing data, price exclusions and the public datasets behind the reports.

Sources & methodology included

Useful numbers. Clear boundaries.

This is a selected venue collection, not a survey of every wedding in France. Starting prices do not share identical inclusions. Climate figures describe 2001–2020; tourism statistics describe 2025; marriage registrations describe 2022–2024. Each report keeps its dates and limits beside the findings.
