France is one of the most sought-after countries for a destination wedding. But with so many stunning regions to choose from, choosing the perfect location for your destination wedding in France can feel overwhelming. Should you go for timeless Parisian elegance, the sun-drenched romance of Provence, or the glamorous energy of the French Riviera?
At Et Voila Weddings, we have been planning exceptional destination weddings in France for over 13 years. Here is our expert guide to help you decide which region is best suited to your vision.
Paris: Grand, Iconic, and Effortlessly Chic
For couples who want luxury, heritage, and sophistication, Paris is unmatched. Think five-star hotels, Michelin-starred cuisine, and luxury shopping experiences.
Paris is ideal if you are dreaming of:
- A luxury wedding in an iconic hotel or elegant chateau near the city
- World-class gastronomy and fashion-forward style
- A cosmopolitan guest experience with easy international access
Pro tip: While many think of Paris for its romantic streets, our weddings take place in the city’s top palace hotels or elegant estates on the outskirts, offering more space, privacy, and grandeur.

Provence: Rustic Elegance and Natural Beauty
Provence is known for its lavender fields, hilltop villages, and warm, golden light. The region offers a slower pace and timeless charm that is hard to resist.
Provence is ideal if you are dreaming of:
- A multi-day wedding surrounded by vineyards and olive groves
- Alfresco dining, live music, and candlelit courtyards
- Chic yet relaxed design, full of natural textures and colours
Pro tip: Plan your wedding between May and September for the best weather and peak beauty of the region.

The French Riviera: Glamour, Sea Views, and Endless Style
If you love the idea of a luxurious party by the sea, the Riviera delivers. From iconic towns like Saint-Tropez to hidden gems in the hills above Nice, this region blends elegance with celebration.
The French Riviera is ideal if you are dreaming of:
- A beachside or cliff-top wedding with breathtaking views
- Lively events with a festive, upscale atmosphere
- Easy access to luxury yachts, beach clubs, and fine dining
Pro tip: The Riviera is perfect for couples who want to impress their guests with a multi-day celebration that feels like a holiday.
