Château de Mont Vert hosts weddings, birthdays, christenings, private receptions, seminars, board meetings, conferences, product launches and gala dinners, with an in-house caterer and accommodation on site. The château stands in Saint-Zacharie, in Provence, on the border between the Var and the Bouches-du-Rhône, about 20 minutes from Marseille and Aix-en-Provence and 10 minutes from Aubagne. The whole site can be privatized.
Seminars and company events
The château offers meeting rooms for seminars, study days, management committees, conferences, product launches and gala evenings, with personal support for each project. Catering for business events covers served meals, cocktails and breaks. Participants can stay in the château's rooms and apartments, which makes a two-day program possible without transfers. A large car park is on site. The château does not publish the size or capacity of its meeting rooms, so ask for layouts when you request a quote.
Weddings and receptions
The château's website gives most of its space to weddings. Three formats are described. The first is a one-day reception in the hall. The second is a weekend, with the château's rooms booked for guests and a brunch the next day. The third is an immersive stay, starting the day before in the château's suite, with hair, makeup, dressing and photos on site on the morning of the wedding. Ceremonies, cocktails and photo sessions take place outdoors in the park. The team works with a network of partner suppliers. The château also hosts christenings, birthdays and family receptions.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall has a parquet floor and opens onto the park, with old trees, ponds and fountains used for ceremonies and drinks. The site mentions several reception spaces and meeting rooms, but gives no names, surfaces or guest numbers. Confirm the seated and standing capacity directly with the château.
Accommodation
The château has 13 rooms inside the main building, plus apartments on the estate. Published examples include La Belle Époque (12 square meters, garden view), Le Boudoir (22 square meters, for 4), Lamandine (37 square meters), La Chambre Bleue (21 square meters, mountain view), and the Le Mondrian and Le Bohème apartments of 43 square meters with a mezzanine. A wellness area offers a five-seat jacuzzi, an herbal tea corner and a coffee corner.
Catering
The château runs its own event catering, with personalized menus for cocktails, seated dinners and buffets, and cooking workshops as an activity. A seasonal offer on venue hire for remaining 2027 dates applies only when the château's caterer is chosen.
History and setting
The history page traces the château to the 17th century; other pages date it to the 18th century. It was restored in 2013. The estate is linked to the Marquis Gaston de Saporta, a 19th-century paleobotanist who enriched the park with rare trees. Its ponds and fountains are fed by the Nayes spring. The château lies near the Sainte-Baume massif.
Getting there
The château is on the RD 560 in Saint-Zacharie, a few minutes from the main roads, 10 minutes from Aubagne and 20 minutes from Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. The office is open Tuesday to Saturday.
