The place and the plan.
At Château des Contes in the Vouzeron area, the celebration and the overnight stay have different sizes: 200 event guests and 40 sleeping places are listed. You could bring a smaller group together on site, then arrange nearby rooms for the rest. At the full listed guest count, 160 people would need somewhere else to sleep if everyone stays.
Other recorded features include Swimming pool, LGBTQ+ friendly, Wheelchair access reported and Wi-Fi. Use the detailed listing below to decide which of these matter to your group.
For food, the source says “Choice of caterer”. Clarify who provides the meal, what kitchen access is available and which charges sit outside the venue hire.
The recorded starting figure is €36,000, described as “From €36,000 for 3 nights”. Use that exact hire period and set of inclusions when comparing quotes. It is a source-listed price from September 2026, not a current offer or the total wedding cost.
The listed minimum stay is 3 nights. Build arrival and departure around that period, including any supplier setup time you need.

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 47.500° N, 2.500° 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.
View the original NASA POWER data ↗Compare summer with May and September
July has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 19.7°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 15.7°C, with about 46 mm of rain over the month.
| Month | Day-and-night mean | Monthly rain |
|---|---|---|
| May | 13.9°C | 75 mm |
| June | 17.7°C | 61 mm |
| July | 19.7°C | 60 mm |
| August | 19.3°C | 55 mm |
| September | 15.7°C | 46 mm |
| October | 11.8°C | 72 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.
