YOUR WEDDING AT LE Petit Nizon
Celebrate Your Wedding Over an Entire Weekend
Celebrate, gather and keep the festivities going at a charming Provençal estate near Avignon.
At Le Petit Nizon, we know that a wedding is about so much more than one evening of celebration. It is also about carefully arranging the decorations you have chosen, spending precious time with family and friends, and getting ready on the morning of the wedding ; with make-up, last-minute preparations and perhaps a few nervous faces. It is about the excitement, the emotion of the ceremony and, of course, the party itself.
But it doesn't have to end there!
The following day is another opportunity to enjoy time with your loved ones, share memories of the previous evening and slowly take in everything you have just experienced.
At Le Petit Nizon, your entire wedding can take place in one location, at your own pace and according to the schedule you have planned. Decorate the estate with your friends and family, get ready without rushing, welcome your guests, hold your ceremony, enjoy cocktails and dinner, dance, sleep (perhaps not for very long, but comfortably!) and make the most of the following day together.
With exclusive use of the estate, you can bring your guests together in a warm and welcoming setting and extend the celebrations thanks to the accommodation on site and nearby.
Located close to Avignon and Orange, just five minutes from the motorway exit, Le Petit Nizon is easily accessible for wedding couples and guests travelling from near and far.
Make the Most of Your Wedding
The Day Before – Time to Get Together
When you celebrate your wedding at Le Petit Nizon, you can take possession of the estate from 10 am on the day before your wedding.
This gives you time to settle in, make yourselves at home in the bedrooms and decorate the different spaces just the way you like them. You might also want to get together with the friends and family who have helped you prepare for your big day, perhaps over an informal dinner or a pizza party using the wood-fired oven available on site.
It is also the perfect opportunity to organise a welcome dinner if some of your guests are travelling from further afield.
The Wedding Day – A Space for Every Moment
Getting ready, welcoming your guests, the ceremony, cocktail reception, dinner and dancing… your wedding day is full of special moments.
Thanks to the versatile layout of Le Petit Nizon, each part of your celebration flows naturally from one space to another, throughout the day and into the evening.
Welcome refreshments by the fountain, a ceremony in front of the lavender in the garden, cocktails in the courtyard, followed by dinner and dancing in the reception room… Your guests move naturally through the estate, discovering a different atmosphere at every stage of the day.
And when it is finally time to rest, the five bedrooms and the cottage are just a few steps away from the dance floor!
The Day After – Keep the Celebration Going
“A wedding goes by far too quickly!” It may sound like a cliché, but it is true.
Make the most of one last moment together around a brunch, lunch or afternoon gathering before saying goodbye.
Relaxing naps, sunglasses and a few games of pétanque are all part of the experience!

The wedding of our dreams!
It only took one visit for me to make my decision, despite being naturally indecisive.
A charming, welcoming and versatile venue, this Provençal country house made a lasting impression on us. Its beauty, practicality and simplicity all helped us create the wedding of our dreams, exactly as we had imagined it.
We loved the authentic beauty of Provence, without unnecessary fuss. We were able to hold our outdoor ceremony, create a space for drinks, another for dining and a dance floor! We could also accommodate our family in the lovely bedrooms, each full of character.
And above all, we must mention the kindness of our hosts. Alexandra is a wonderful person: reassuring, understanding, warm, incredibly responsive and always attentive. We couldn't have hoped for better, and we will never thank her enough. We absolutely loved our wedding and will recommend this place for years to come!

A place to remember
Le Petit Nizon is beautiful and wonderfully authentic. It has so much charm while retaining an understated elegance. You immediately feel at home. The bedrooms are lovely, and the garden and courtyard make it easy to create distinct spaces for different parts of the celebration.
Alexandra is a thoughtful and attentive host. Her advice and kindness are invaluable support for couples planning their wedding.
We celebrated our wedding here on Saturday, 20 June, and we wholeheartedly recommend this venue.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to celebrate our wedding in such beautiful surroundings. 🫶 🥰

Exceptional & Easy to Make Your Own
Le Petit Nizon was exactly what we were looking for: an intimate venue with indoor and outdoor spaces that needed very little decoration to look beautiful. The exposed stone walls, paved terrace surrounded by greenery and welcoming furnishings created just the atmosphere we wanted.
The cottage and five bedrooms were perfect for accommodating the children's activities and providing accommodation for our families and close friends.
Alexandra was extremely professional, responsive and efficient, both during the preparations and on the wedding day itself.
