The couple married in a small, private ceremony last weekend, it emerged on Thursday, surrounded by family and friends. But after years in the limelight as one of the world’s most-watched couples, it was obvious that not just any wedding venue would work. So the couple chose to get married close to home. Or, at least, close to one of their homes. The [Associated Press reports](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/angelina-jolie-and-brad-pitt-were-married-saturday-france-says-spokesman-couple "undefined") that Pitt and Jolie tied the knot in the south of France, at the Château Miraval, a wine château not far from Aix-en-Provence. Back in 2008, the couple moved their family into the château and apparently haven’t looked back, spending their summers nestled in the 1000-acre estate. Back in the 1970s, the sprawling estate was home to the jazz pianist and composer [Jacques Loussier](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%5FLoussier "undefined"), who built a recording studio on its grounds. Since then, Pink Floyd, Sting, Sade and the Cranberries have all recorded music there. And it seems that the Pitt-Jolies have carried on the tradition. According to the Château Miraval’s[ website](http://miraval-provence.com/en/#Provence "undefined"), the couple “have given impetus to the heart of the estate as a place dedicated to the arts — music, cinema, theater, local food and fine wine.” Even those who don’t frequently read gossip pages might recognize the Château Miraval name: it’s also home to [Brangelina’s wine](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/11/20/brangelina-rose-is-officially-one-of-the-worlds-best-wines/ "undefined"), the Côtes de Provence Rosé Miraval, which won plaudits last year from [_Wine Spectator_](http://2013.top100.winespectator.com/list/ "undefined")magazine. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3206178/chateau-miraval-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-married/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3206178/chateau-miraval-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-married/"},"headline":"Here's the French Château Where Brad and Angelina Wed","datePublished":"2014-08-28T14:26:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:54:23.730Z","description":"Ooh la la","url":"https://time.com/3206178/chateau-miraval-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-married/","keywords":["celebrities","movies","Angelina Jolie","Brad Pitt","wedding"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54c079939f9d0996/6986a141cd804d7d73ccc889/le-val.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54c079939f9d0996/6986a141cd804d7d73ccc889/le-val.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Chateau Miraval, a vineyard estate owned by US actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Le Val, southeastern France on May 31, 2008.","caption":"The Chateau Miraval, a vineyard estate owned by US actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Le Val, southeastern France on May 31, 2008.","creditText":"Michel Gangne—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3206178/chateau-miraval-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-married/","name":"Here's the French Château Where Brad and Angelina Wed"}}]}] ```
