Getting married at the Domaine des Tours Vauquelin: a videographer's view
Stone buildings around a courtyard, gardens and a large beamed hall in the heart of the Suisse Normande: the Domaine des Tours Vauquelin brings the whole day together in one place. I filmed Justine and Kévin's wedding there.

Information gathered in November 2026 from venue directories, which do not all give the same figures. Please confirm capacities, beds and terms directly with the estate.
What the place brings to the image
Stone and long tiled roofs give the film a very Norman texture. The courtyard, with its olive trees and fountain, sets the scene for the drinks and films as well from the ground as from the air. Late in the day the gardens turn golden: the ideal moment for the couple's images.
The main hall, with its beams and openings onto the terrace, stays connected to the outdoors until nightfall and makes a fine setting for the speeches.

Justine and Kévin were married there on 8 August 2026. Their day is told here: Justine & Kévin's wedding at the Domaine des Tours Vauquelin.
