Where to stay?
In order to accommodate you close to the events and in the spirit of our wedding, we suggest that you sleep in one of the chalets of the « Vedrignans ». They are fully equipped chalets for 2 to 8 people. We were able to negotiate the prices (approximately 30€/person/night, minimum 2 nights) and reserve most of the place for you. For those who prefer an hotel, « Chez Planes » will offer you great comfort. Otherwise, the region offers many accommodation for all tastes and budgets.
