If like us, you are fortunate to have friends scattered all around the world coming to your wedding, this might have an impact on your venue location decision.

For us, we decided that as the only international airport on the Riviera is Nice Airport , we wanted a venue a couple of hours drive away at the most, to make life easier for those coming from far away i.e. Australia, South Africa, North America etc To help your guests below is a list of who flies from where to Nice.

Le Beauvallon in Sainte-Maxime

This very grand palace was built in 1914, a Parisian business man asked his architect friend to build him a palace hotel in the valley, looking over the bay of St Tropez.

Le Beauvallon has 70 bedrooms so can accommodate up to 140 guests, and up to 300 guests for dinning. You can hire the place exclusively or just for the number of guests you need.

For weddings it has either a grand ballroom, with painted murals, crystal chandeliers, and a large terrace for reception drinks. Or alternatively it has the most beautiful beach club that is right on the waters edge which was just stunning and defiantly my preferred option.
