GET TO KNOW THE PLACE

Start with what matters.

Manoir de Longeveau, in the Aubeterre-sur-Dronne area area, is worth a closer look if keeping everyone together is high on your list. Its published figures pair 190 event guests with 190 overnight places. The numbers suggest room for the whole party to stay; the bedroom layout will tell you whether that works for your group.

For food, the source says “External caterers welcome”. This may give you more choice over the food, but check whether there is an approved supplier list and who supplies staff, equipment and clearing-up.

The recorded starting figure is €27,513, described as “Starting figure in the venue listing; package scope must be confirmed”. 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 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 45.500° N, 0.000° 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

August has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 21.5°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 18.1°C, with about 46 mm of rain over the month.

Area climate averages, 2001–2020
MonthDay-and-night meanMonthly rain
May14.9°C74 mm
June19.1°C62 mm
July21.5°C48 mm
August21.5°C51 mm
September18.1°C46 mm
October13.8°C70 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.

FROM A FAVOURITE TO A PLAN

Planning your wedding at Manoir de Longeveau.

Could all of our wedding guests stay here?

The recorded 190 overnight places cover the headline event capacity of 190. That numerical fit does not confirm a suitable bedroom layout for your group. Ask for the bedroom breakdown, extra-bed arrangements and nights included.

What does the starting price cover at Manoir de Longeveau?

The recorded package wording is: “Starting figure in the venue listing; package scope must be confirmed”. This was collected on 28 September 2026. Ask for an itemised quote for your guest count and dates; extras and the final price are not established by this figure.

Can we choose our catering?

The source-listed detail is: “External caterers welcome”. Confirm the permitted suppliers, kitchen use, staffing and drinks charges before booking.
