AIN’T IT SWELL …
IN SERMIZELLES
Sermizelles, our wedding venue, is nestled in Burgundy's pastoral landscapes along the Cure River. This quaint village features honey-stone cottages and the 12th-century Saint-Martin Church with its distinctive fortified bell tower. The gentle rhythm of rural life here—meandering riverside paths, rustling poplar groves, and the distant chime of church bells—creates a serene atmosphere for our celebration.
For guests interested in exploring the area before or after our wedding weekend, here are some nearby attractions:
