GET TO KNOW THE PLACE

A clearer picture.

Château de Boucéel is listed in the Saint-James area with space for 50 guests. Start by deciding how many people will join dinner, then compare that with the room layout. The published capacity does not tell us whether the same number fits a seated meal, ceremony and wet-weather alternative.

The staff or language entry says “French, English”. Agree who will be your contact during planning and who will be present on the day.

Where these figures come from & how we choose months

NASA POWER modelled area climatology, January 2001–December 2020, retrieved 28 September 2026. This is historical climate guidance, not a forecast or a measurement at the venue. The area query is centred at 48.500° N, -1.250° E; the meteorological grid is about 0.5° × 0.625°. Elevation, coast and local shelter can change conditions substantially.

We select the three months with the lowest score: distance of the monthly mean from 20°C, plus twice the average daily precipitation in millimetres. This is an editorial preference for mild, relatively dry conditions, not an official wedding-season rating. Monthly precipitation is mean mm/day multiplied by calendar days, using 28 for February. Always plan an indoor alternative.

Compare summer with May and September

July has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 17.9°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 15.4°C, with about 45 mm of rain over the month.

Area climate averages, 2001–2020
MonthDay-and-night meanMonthly rain
May13.0°C59 mm
June16.3°C51 mm
July17.9°C53 mm
August17.8°C53 mm
September15.4°C45 mm
October12.2°C75 mm

For warmer dates, ask about shade and cooling. For cooler dates, ask about evening shelter and heating. Neither a lower monthly rainfall total nor a suggested month removes the need for an indoor plan.
