5 Reasons to Get Married in Berry: The Unforgettable Charm of Boischaud Sud

When it comes to choosing the perfect wedding venue, Berry – especially the picturesque region of Boischaud Sud (where Sainte-Sévère is located) – emerges as a dream destination. Its authentic setting, natural richness, and strategic location in the center of France make this hidden gem a perfect option to celebrate your union. Here are five good reasons to choose this region to say “I do”.


1- The Authenticity and Beauty of the Landscapes

Le Boischaud Sud, the southern part of Berry, is a land where nature has kept its rights. Its bocage landscapes, formed of green meadows, rustic hedges, and deciduous woods, offer an authentic and romantic setting, perfect for your ceremony or your wedding photos. Imagine a photo shoot at sunset, in the middle of the fields or on a path shaded by old oaks. This natural beauty offers an ideal backdrop for a country wedding, where rustic charm combines with elegance.

2- Sports and Natural Activities for All Ages

A wedding is not limited to the ceremony: it is often an opportunity to bring family and friends together for a weekend or even a whole week of festivities. Berry is full of sports and natural activities to entertain your guests, young and old. Canoeing on the Creuse, hiking along the trails to those of the Brenne Natural Park, horse riding in the Boischaud forests, or electric bike rides... There is something for everyone. For nature lovers, birdwatching outings or boat trips on the region's ponds complete this exceptional offer.


The Château de Sainte-Sévère is located on hiking trails including the GR42 and the GR100, 5km from a leisure center offering wakeboarding and water skiing, 6km from a golf course with spa, 10km from a racing circuit and many other activities...


3 - The Calm and Serenity of the Berry Countryside

Organizing a wedding in the heart of nature, far from the urban hustle and bustle, means offering your guests (and yourselves!) a moment of calm and serenity. Le Boischaud Sud, with its peaceful atmosphere and starry skies, provides an immediate feeling of relaxation. Your guests will appreciate being able to recharge their batteries and enjoy a moment of pure tranquility. A wedding in Berry is the promise of a celebration in all simplicity, where every moment can be savored without stress or rushing.


With its panoramic view of these landscapes, the Château de Sainte-Sévère is the ideal location for such a celebration.

4 - A Rich Historical and Cultural Heritage

Berry is also a land of history and traditions. Several castles, old barns, and restored estates are available to organize your reception. Among these places that offer a unique charm, our castle is one where, in particular, history is combined with elegant architecture.


For your guests, this stay is also an opportunity to discover the local culture: tasting goat cheese, discovering the wines of Reuilly and Châteaumeillant, or visiting picturesque towns and villages such as Gargilesse, La Châtre Nohant or even Sainte-Sévère, labeled “Petite Cité de Caractère”.

Finally, one of the first concerns when planning a wedding is to make the event accessible to all guests, whether they come from Paris, Lyon, Nantes or even Marseille. Berry, nestled in the center of France, makes travel easy and easily brings together guests, even those from far away. The region is fairly well served by the motorway and rail network, guaranteeing quick and convenient access. This central setting is perfect for bringing together your loved ones, without worrying about a long journey, and for sharing this unforgettable moment together.
