Virtual tour: A first discovery in complete transparency
Before coming on site, we offer you a complete virtual tour of all the spaces of the Domaine de Valbonne. During this video, the owners walk with you through every corner, offering an authentic discovery of the estate to help you fully project yourself into this unique setting. This approach reduces travel for the bride and groom and their guests, while ensuring total transparency.
Green energy and smart lighting management
The energy we use to illuminate this enchanting place is partly produced by solar panels, installed near the estate, and the lighting is controlled by a home automation system. All our bulbs are low consumption, which allows us to significantly reduce energy consumption while illuminating your wedding in the most beautiful way.
Valorizing food surpluses: a marriage without waste
We know that a wedding is often synonymous with celebration and abundance, but this should not result in waste. Unconsumed food leftovers are donated to local associations or shared with our teams, in accordance with current health standards. By redistributing this food, we contribute to a more sustainable and supportive model.
Flowers for the village: a touch of shared beauty
The flowers, so beautiful during your ceremony, continue to bring happiness to the inhabitants of Saint Paulet de Caisson. After your wedding, they are deposited at the town hall, and the villagers can help themselves freely in exchange for an ecological gesture. A simple gesture, but one that allows you to extend the joy of your special day to the entire community.

Pure and local water: stop plastic
Thanks to our state-of-the-art water filtration system, we avoid the consumption of plastic bottles. The purified water, available on site, guarantees freshness and sustainability for your guests, while minimizing the environmental impact.
Eco-friendly care products in all rooms
In the showers at Domaine de Valbonne, we favour the use of soap and shampoo capsules, mixed with water to avoid plastic bottles. Guests thus benefit from quality products, while reducing their ecological footprint.
Waste sorting: a clean and environmentally friendly wedding
In order to minimise the environmental impact of each event, we have set up an efficient waste sorting system throughout the Estate. Clear collection points and precise instructions allow everyone, bride and groom and guests alike, to actively participate in our ecological approach. Every action counts to protect the natural beauty of Provence.
A lasting commitment to your marriage
Choosing Domaine de Valbonne is more than just opting for a sumptuous setting in the heart of Provence. It is also celebrating in a place that respects and values the environment. Thanks to our partnership with a concierge service, we support you to simplify each step of the organization of your wedding, while remaining faithful to our eco-responsible commitment.
We believe it is possible to have the wedding of your dreams while taking care of our planet. We invite you to discover our ecological approach and join us in celebrating love in a sustainable way.
