The best photo spots at château des 3 Fontaines
This is one of those rare venues where indoor photography is just as impactful as outdoor portraits.
Top photo locations:
- Inside the château:
The salons and staircase are standout features. The soft natural light and white-and-gold tones create a clean, editorial look. - Front of the château:
The staircase gives a timeless, grand feel — perfect for iconic couple portraits. - The park and gardens:
With 5 hectares of landscaped grounds, you have space for more natural, relaxed images — especially with the château in the background. - Drone perspectives:
The scale of the estate, the tree-lined park, and surrounding views (including Mont Ventoux) really come to life from above.
Best time for photos:
Early afternoon works beautifully, especially indoors where the light stays soft and flattering.
Lighting tip:
There’s a tree directly in front of the château, which can make fully symmetrical front-facing shots tricky — plan angles or embrace asymmetry.
From a Photographer’s Perspective
What I love most about Château des 3 Fontaines is how consistent and intentional the design feels throughout the entire property.
There isn’t just one “good spot” — the whole venue works visually, especially the interiors, which are often overlooked in château venues.
One of my favorite moments to capture here is the couple on the grand staircase. It’s elegant, simple, and timeless. And when you add a drone shot over the park? It gives a completely different, equally powerful perspective of the day.
Tip:
Plan time for couple portraits inside the château. It’s easy to focus on the exterior, but the interiors are what truly set this venue apart.
