At Domaine de Bartherotte, in Cap Ferret, this private wedding took on a rare dimension through the power of the setting and the precision of the layout. The reception, set just above the Atlantic, was structured beneath a white Nomadic tent on a timber frame, creating a generous, clear volume that shelters without enclosing and lets the landscape breathe.

A discreet address on Arcachon Bay, popular with an international VIP clientele, the estate is one of the venues where we work very regularly, with a near exclusive presence on certain configurations. That familiarity with the site enabled a smooth set up and a perfectly executed run, from cocktail through to dinner.

The Nomadic stretch tent shaped the cocktail into a true reception space, open to the ocean while keeping guests protected. The furniture then defined each moment of the day, with seating and social areas designed to stay visually light and fully aligned with the estate’s natural setting.
