Les Petits Charpeneys

2575 Route de Chabeuil, 26120 Châteaudouble, France

In Châteaudouble, in the Drôme, Les Petits Charpeneys offers a countryside venue for weddings and other private or business events. Set in a renovated old building, the hall combines exposed stone walls and high ceilings to create a welcoming atmosphere suited to meals and receptions. It can accommodate around 65 to 70 people for a sit-down meal, and up to 90 guests for a buffet.

The venue is available for self-managed hire, allowing organisers to choose their own caterer and personalise the decor to suit their plans. Tables, chairs and benches are available, as well as an adjoining kitchen for the caterer to use. Crockery, glasses and practical equipment, such as a cooker, fridges, a percolator and a microwave, make it easier to prepare the meal. Several hire periods are possible, including an evening, a weekend or a wedding.

Outside, a covered terrace provides space for an aperitif or wedding drinks, while the one-hectare tree-filled park offers a natural setting for a civil ceremony or time outdoors. Accommodation is also available on site, allowing some guests to continue the celebrations without having to get back on the road. To help with planning, the venue can recommend local suppliers, including caterers, photographers, wedding planners and musicians. The site is therefore well suited to couples and organisers looking for a rural, flexible and intimate space to bring their guests together at the foot of the Vercors.
