Le Castel Bay

Located in Hyères, in the Var region of France, Castel Bay offers a dream setting with 3 hectares of parkland and views over the famous Almanarre bay and the Giens peninsula.

Le Castel was built in the early 20th century as the summer residence of an Austrian baron. It was subsequently purchased by Haute Couture Paquin, who modified its layout by extending the west wing. He also added an Art Deco-inspired staircase, which has become a major decorative feature of the building.

Since April 2021, and following extensive renovation work, Castel Bay is ready to host large-scale events. A grand stone staircase leads up to its main terrace and imposing building.

An enchanting "Belle Epoque" style building with different spaces is available for your customized reception:

The gardens for your commitment ceremony, the sea-view terrace for your vin d'honneur and dinner.

The interior of Castel Bay is made up of 4 spaces with a total surface area of 300m2, all of which can be adapted to suit all types of receptions.

It can accommodate up to 250 guests for your wedding reception, consent ceremony or garden party. The ceremony can take place on the terrace or in the Castel Bay gardens, which will be landscaped and decorated by the establishment.

This new wedding venue in the Var offers refined, elegant surroundings and gourmet catering. The location is exceptional!

The building's combination of age and modernity, and its large garden, will enable you to take some beautiful wedding photos.
