The area
Antibes harbour is 4 km away, and the Provençal market fills the covered hall on Cours Masséna every morning except Monday, and every single day in summer. Right across from the Bastide, the hilltop village of Biot: at its glassworks, you watch the glassblowers shape the bubbled glass invented there in 1956. A lovely morning before the party.

Your questions
See our wedding come togetherHow many guests can we invite?
Up to 280, for the ceremony as for the dinner. For a hundred or two hundred: long tables in the Cour d'Honneur, with the Pavillon des Oliviers close by if the wind picks up.
Until what time can we dance?
Until 2 am, in the Cour d'Honneur or in the Pavillon des Oliviers, with the Bastide's sound system and its sound engineer. Your last guests head off around 3 am.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes, and it's often the loveliest moment: in the Music garden, round and ringed with olive trees, or in the French garden. You choose the words, the officiant and the music for your entrance.
Can we have our civil wedding in Antibes?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the Bastide. Antibes town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at the Bastide.
