Château Saint Georges: the perfect place for a wedding on the French Riviera
Welcome to Château Saint Georges, located in the heart of the French Riviera, up in the hills of a village scented with citrus: Grasse, capital of haute perfumery.

The history of Château Saint Georges, a gem of the Riviera
Built in the 19th century, Château Saint Georges is also nicknamed the “Petit Versailles of the French Riviera.” This jewel was commissioned by Léon Chiris, a highly influential perfumer from Grasse at that time. He wanted a place that combined prestige, comfort, and refinement. A place to dominate the city of Grasse and to symbolize the success of his perfume business. The estate covers several hectares, includes Mediterranean gardens, an indoor pool, and terraces perfectly suited for outdoor receptions. Everything is here to celebrate your love in a dream setting.
A venue ideal for an editorial wedding inspired by fashion and French elegance
Getting married at Château Saint Georges means celebrating your day in elegance and the charm of the French Riviera. We revealed the elegance of this exceptional venue through a fashion-styled shoot: Couture lines, a luminous and timeless ambiance, artistic direction cinched down to every detail. The shoot began in one of the most iconic spaces of the domain: the indoor pool.
That setting is intimate, with a strong visual presence. It’s the perfect spot for a first look that strikes, surrounded by friends and attendants, in the charming rooms of Château Saint Georges before the ceremony.
